Where can I change the From email address?

Email Marketing General questions Updated on October 14, 2019

When you first sign up to a Benchmark account, we use your primary email address as your From and Reply email. However, if this is not the email you would like to use to send from, you can easily add another. You can add a new email address directly from the Email Checklist page, or you can go to the Email Verification page to add multiple email addresses.

For best results, Benchmark suggests using your company or business domain instead of a personal email address like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Outlook. Doing so may hurt your delivery rates. To learn why you should avoid sending from a public domain, click here.
