Connect your own Postmark account
A transactional-first mail provider. Sending is authorized by a server token, and the From address has to match a confirmed sender signature in the account.
What you need from Postmark
Gather these in the Postmark portal first. The connection form asks for exactly these fields and nothing more.
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| serverToken | Server Token. The token for the server you send from — Postmark sends it as a header, and it is not the account API token. |
Credentials are sealed with AES-256-GCM and the console only ever shows a masked value afterwards. Plaintext is never written to logs and never sent back to the browser.
What we configure on the connection
- Sender address (From). Must correspond to a sender signature you have already confirmed in Postmark.
- Default send pacing: 10 messages per second. This is a conservative starting point, applied per connection, and you can change it at any time. Your real ceiling is set by Postmark — check your account quota and raise the value to match.
Why teams pick Postmark
- A per-server token rather than an account-wide credential
- A strict sender-signature model, so the From address cannot drift silently
- Domain and signature approval stay in your own Postmark account
Worth knowing
- Postmark reports failures inside a 200 response body, so the send is judged on that field rather than on the HTTP status alone.
What stays on your side
These are yours to hold — and that is the point of bringing your own account: the relationship, the rates and the compliance stay in your name, not ours.
- Account approval and billing terms
- Domain verification, plus the SPF and DKIM records for the domain you send from
- Sender reputation, and any blocklist remediation that follows from it
- The quotas and rate limits Postmark grants your account
