Set The Sender Email Address With Mandrill Account

November 8, 2022

NOTE- Yahoo users: 

In an attempt to stop fraudulent emails, Yahoo changed its DMARC authentication policy to reject emails that claim to come from yahoo.com but actually originate at non-Yahoo servers. 

So, if you are using Mandrill to setup Jotform email notifiers,  email notifications configured to use the Sender Email field as the “From” email address will not work when yahoo users submit the form. Please read more about Yahoo and Mailchimp DMARC POLICY here

We have now implemented a solution to set a Sender Address as you wish. You just need to use a mandrill account. Mandrill is now a paid service for all level of accounts.

1. Create a Mandrill account and set up as described in this tutorial.

a. First, create a Mandrill account. (Mandrill is no longer a Free service)
