the difference

Others block you. We tell you what to do.

For ordinary suspensions, we email you the reason and give you at least 48 hours to remedy it. For serious risks to the service, IP reputation or compliance with the law, we may suspend immediately and notify you straight afterwards.

The email marketing platform I was looking for

MailSenpai is truly one of the few companies that let you send large volumes of email and build automations other platforms don’t allow. It also offers support in Italian, which almost nobody does. […]

Frequently asked questions

How does the guarantee work?

It applies to your first purchase of a paid plan, including if you started on the free plan. Within 30 days of your order, contact support from your account email with your order number: we refund what you paid for the first period to the same card, no questions asked. It also applies if you started on the free plan. The terms are in article 12-bis.

Can I try it for free?

Yes: there is a free plan, with no card and no expiry. Upgrade from your area when you need more volume or a dedicated IP, keeping your domain and credentials.

Do I need to change software or rewrite code?

No. In the software you already use, enter 4 details: server relay.mailsenpai.com, port 2525 or 587 with STARTTLS, username and password. Or use the API with a key. Your area has ready-made examples for PHP, WordPress and command line.

Does it work with WordPress, Laravel, Node, n8n or Zapier?

Yes: it works with any software that can send over SMTP. For WordPress a free plugin such as WP Mail SMTP is enough; frameworks and automation tools all have an “SMTP server” field.

My hosting blocks some SMTP ports: can I still use it?

Yes. You can use 2525, which many hosts leave open even when they close the classic ports 25 and 587, or 587 if it is 2525 that is blocked. If both are closed, send through the API, which goes over the web port.

Why do my emails land in spam, and what do you do differently?

Usually for three reasons: an unauthenticated domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), servers with a poor reputation, old or wrong addresses. We give you the exact DNS records to publish and check them, sign your emails with DKIM, send from well-kept IPs and set aside addresses that bounce. A report in your area tells you what to improve.

What happens if I get lots of bounces or spam complaints?

For ordinary suspensions, we email you the reason and give you at least 48 hours to remedy it. For serious risks to the service, IP reputation or compliance with the law, we may suspend immediately and notify you straight afterwards. Hard bounces and spam complaints enter the do-not-contact list automatically. The affected emails are not sent through the API or website forms and do not use up your volume.
