📮Postal Routes

Once you've created a method of delivering email such as SMTP Relay, API, or a Velocity MTA delivery policy, you'll need to add a postal route before it can be assigned to a frontend customer account and used by the email marketing frontend.

Click Customers from the top navigation, select Postal Routes, and click Create Postal Route.
