After changing my sender's email address: What to do next

If possible, send from a standard "From" address, but use different "Reply-To" addresses, as necessary.

Why this is important

Ensures that emails from this address land in the inbox, not the junk folder. By default, links and images are allowed, allowing you to track open rates and click rates better. Also, it improves your reputation as a sender; the more people who have your From address in their Address books, the better your reputation will be.

Steps after changing your from address

There are times when a new address is needed - either due to a domain change, a reorganization, or other reasons. If you need to change it, follow these steps:

  • 1. Tell everyone about it

Send a newsletter to your contacts before you do it. Ask them to add your new From address to their Contact list.

  • 2. Warning Signs

You may want to include a warning at the top of the newsletter leading up to the changeover.

  • 3. The domain

The From domain should be the same as the URL they entered when signing up.For example, if you were able to sign up at https://www.yourdomain.com, then you should send an email from [email protected] or [email protected].
