Send engines can be created and managed through Mail Lists > Send Engines section in Oempro administration area.

In this article, we will show you how to create a new send engine to use in your newsletter campaigns.

To create our new send engine, click ‘Mail Lists > Send Engines’ option in main menu:

Click ‘Create Send Engine’ link on top:

Fill-in the fields in the form to create your send engine:

Administrative Description: The description you will enter in this field can only be seen by the owner administrator. It should describe the send engine you are going to create. Ex: localhost

Host address: The address (IP or domain) of your SMTP mail server. Ex: mail.yourdomain.com

Server port: SMTP server default port is 25. But this can be different on your server. Please contact your server administrator to learn your SMTP server port.

Time out: The number of seconds to time-out if a delay occurs on connection. We strongly recommend you to keep this value as 10 seconds.

Authentication: Your SMTP server may need authentication. Just check this box and enter your username and password.

Username and Password: If your SMTP needs authentication to send messages, you need to check authentication box and fill in your username and password.

Load Balancing: Oempro has a powerful load balancing feature. You can create unlimited amount of send engines (SMTP servers) and let Oempro use some of them for delivering your campaigns. You can set the number of emails to send at a time for this SMTP server and then number of seconds to wait to go ahead with the next batch. Just enter 0 (zero) to both fields to disable this feature.

Select mail lists which you want to assign this send engine. This send engine will be available on campaigns which are scheduled for mail lists assigned to this send engine.

As the last step, click “Add” button. Before creating your send engine, Oempro will try to connect your SMTP server and send you a test email. If result is successful, Oempro will create your new send engine.
