Details

Field	Description	Importance
Email Address	The address is used as the SMTP Envelope Sender (MAIL FROM) and is normally reflected as the Return-Path: header by the receiving mail server.	Required for proper sending identity.
Email Server Host	The address of your SMTP server (e.g., smtp.yourdomain.com).	Required for connection.
Port	The port number used for secure communication (e.g., 465 or 587).	Must match your server's required port.
Password	The credentials for authenticating with your SMTP server.	Required for secure access.

💡 Expert Recommendation: Utilize an DSN Service

Dedicated Account: Use a Specific, Dedicated Email Account solely for DSN and Return Path processing (e.g., bounces@yourdomain.com). This ensures clean and efficient parsing of notifications.
Envelope Sender Compatibility: Some email providers may have compatibility issues when the Envelope Sender and From addresses are different. If your email provider does not support this configuration, we recommend using the same email address for both SMTP and DSN.

Please note that The Email Address Configured for DSN Must be Dedicated Exclusively to Gersuz. Gersuz automatically processes and analyzes incoming messages sent to this address and may permanently delete messages identified by the system as unnecessary for DSN processing.

Reply-To Configuration: If you want recipients to reply to a specific email address, use the Reply-To fields in your campaign settings. The email address configured as Reply-To must be different from both your SMTP and DSN email addresses. Using the same address can Cause a Mail-processing Loop on Your Servers.
Security First: Always Enable SSL/TLS encryption for your DSN connection.
Monitor Analytics: After configuration, closely monitor your bounce rate analytics to ensure the system is properly tracking and reporting deliverability issues.
