How to Use Multiple SMTP Servers in GMass

With GMass, you can break Gmail’s daily sending limits to send unlimited emails in Gmail — and the most popular way is by using a SMTP server to send the overage.

(The other way is with GMass MultiSend, which distributes campaigns across multiple inboxes.)

And as of November 2024, you can now add multiple SMTP servers to your GMass account.

This is great if you want to rotate which SMTP server you use for different campaigns based on each server’s deliverability and reputation, desired volume, or use case. (For instance, you might have one SMTP server to use on cold campaigns and another for opt-in newsletters.)

Adding multiple SMTP servers to your account also saves you the time of having to delete, add, and re-add your SMTP servers.

Bottom line: This gives you more versatility and flexibility in your sending.

How to Add Multiple SMTP Servers to Your Account (3 Quick Steps)

All of the SMTP server management you’ll do happens in the GMass dashboard.

To get started, go to the GMass dashboard, open the settings (the gear icon), then click into the SMTP Servers section.

Go to the SMTP server management section of the GMass dashboard

In the SMTP Servers section, click on Manage SMTP servers.

Go to the manage SMTP servers area in the dashboard

Here you’ll see all the SMTP servers you’ve connected to your account (if any).

As you can see here, I have one SMTP server connected. (It’s one of GMass’s in-house SMTP servers. Want to use that yourself? If you’re sending opt-in emails, see if you’re eligible.)

See your current servers

Add a new SMTP server

Click on the red Add a new SMTP server button to add another (or the first) SMTP server to your account.

You’ll need to fill in the credentials you received from the service.

In my example below, I’m adding my username and password from my SMTP2GO account.

Add your new server by entering the credentials

Click the Validate settings button once everything is entered.

GMass will check your credentials and, assuming everything checks out, you can click the (now visible) Add this server button.

Add this server

Setting your default server

Now that you have multiple servers, you have to pick which one you want GMass to use as the default. (Or GMass will just use the first one as the default.)

This is the server that will appear in the campaign settings box as a sending option…

Your default server shows up in the action section

…and will also be the server that’s used to send your campaign once you hit Gmail’s daily sending limit.

It's also used to send after Gmail's limits hit

In the future, you’ll be able to choose that server on the fly in the extension but for now, you have to designate which of your SMTP servers to use.

To set your default SMTP server, click the star in the Default column.

Choose your default SMTP server

Deleting a server

You can also remove SMTP servers from your account in this part of the dashboard.

Just click the Delete link next to the server to remove it.

You can delete a server from this screen

You’ll get a confirmation message to make sure you actually want to delete the server from your account before it’s removed.
