Sender Address in ZeptoMail

Sender address is the means by which you can send emails using the email addresses verified with ZeptoMail. This aids in setting up your account quickly and start sending emails by simply adding the email addresses that you wish to use. 

Note:

For certain cases like initial testing, we have allowed sender address additions through OTP verification. With more and more recipient servers mandating or placing more weight on these authentication protocols, we will not be allowing sender address additions by OTP verification starting April 1, 2024. You will be required to verify your domain in ZeptoMail to send emails.
