Learn to connect ClickFunnel Transactional Email to your domain registered outside of ClickFunnels. Use ClickFunnels Transactional Emails to send emails from Automations in your ClickFunnels account. This will allow for transactional emails only, which include those emails sent at the point an action is taken such as automations, welcome emails, purchase verifications, password resets, etc. This will not replace a full SMTP provider, which is recommended if you wish to send marketing emails from your account.

Spam Policies
We regularly monitor our customers' accounts for abuse and undesirable sending practices. Our general guidelines for Clickfunnels SMTP sending take into account the following factors:
- The ratio of requests that are delivered to the total amount requested.
- Bounces, invalid emails, and drops.
- Spam Reports
- Clickfunnels divides our senders into 3 sending pools based on the quality of your email sends and our Spam Policy.
- Should you receive too many spam reports, bounces, or drops, you will be placed in the "low pool." Anyone in this pool will be notified, and your email sending will be restricted to contacts on your list who've interacted with you in the last 30 days.
- If you receive this notification, the best way to restore your sending reputation to send to these existing contacts who have interacted in the last 30 days, in your SMTP Settings, you will see the bar next to your SMTP turn green as your sending rep restores.
- If your email sending policies continue to be an issue, you will be blocked from sending via click funnels SMTP. This protects us all.
- If you are blocked, you can continue to use Clickfunnels with Actionetics MD, but you will be responsible for integrating with a third-party SMTP provider.
- Should you be blocked in error, please contact Clickfunnels support to investigate further.
