Clear answers for teams evaluating MailForge

Short answers to the questions buyers, operators, and answer engines usually ask first.

What is MailForge?

MailForge is an SMTP-first email marketing platform that helps teams connect customer-owned email providers, organize contacts, create templates, schedule campaigns, run automations, review analytics, and manage workspace controls.

Does MailForge send emails from its own servers?

No. MailForge provides the interface and workflow layer. Campaigns are sent through the client-owned or client-authorized SMTP provider selected in the workspace.

Who is responsible for campaign compliance?

The client using MailForge remains responsible for recipient consent, list source, sender identity, campaign content, unsubscribe handling, provider compliance, and applicable legal obligations.

Can teams use their own SMTP provider?

Yes. MailForge supports customer-owned SMTP setups such as Gmail SMTP, Microsoft 365 SMTP, Outlook SMTP, Hostinger SMTP, client SMTP, and custom SMTP details.

What does MailForge help manage?

MailForge helps manage email connections, contacts and groups, email designs, campaigns, timestamp and recurring automations, analytics, deliverability visibility, billing limits, users, roles, 2FA posture, and audit logs.

What plans are available?

MailForge offers Starter, Growth, Scale, and Enterprise launch paths, with plan allowances for contacts, users, automations, and MailForge email volume. Actual sent volume still depends on the client email provider limits.

FAQ

Answers before teams start sending

Common questions about the current MailForge setup and what has intentionally been kept simple.

Which sending systems are supported?

The current setup is SMTP-focused: client SMTP, Gmail SMTP, Microsoft 365 SMTP, Outlook SMTP, Hostinger SMTP, and custom SMTP details.

Does MailForge send from its own mail servers?

No. MailForge is the operating layer. The connected customer email ID and its SMTP provider are the sending source.

How many emails can be sent?

MailForge plans set workspace allowance, but actual send volume depends on the customer email provider limits, mailbox reputation, and configured daily/hourly/minute caps.

What is the difference between campaigns and automation?

Campaigns are planned one-time or scheduled marketing sends. Automation handles timestamp-based follow-ups and recurring sends.

Can contacts be imported in bulk?

Yes. Contacts can be added manually or imported through CSV/XLSX files, with group assignment included in the import flow.

Can users preview email designs before sending?

Yes. Email Designs supports a direct HTML editor with live preview.

How is automation handled?

Automation is timestamp and recurrence based, with scheduled sends, follow-ups, recurring sends, contact groups, and specific recipient options.
