How to whitelist IPs

Premium Plan users can add IP addresses to their allowlist (whitelist) to make their account more secure. The IP allowlist affects how a user can access the API and the SMTP credentials. If you choose to add one or more IPs to the allowlist, you will only be able to make SMTP or API calls from these IPs. SMTP or API calls made from an unlisted IP address will be denied. 

Using the IP allowlist feature will allow you to make your account more safe, securing it against non-consensual use and protecting your domain reputation.

Note: If no IP address is added to the allowlist, all IPs will be allowed.

How to add an IP address to the allowlist

1. From the MailerSend dashboard, navigate to IP allowlist tab from the Settings page.

Note: You can add IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses, or use the CIDR notation.
