We have currently been using a host for our newsletter's smtp, different from our website host, but I have found out that the hosts ip has once been marked as spam, so that for instance hotmail doesn't receive our newsletters.

I can use our website host as smtp server also. BUT (worst case): If someone in the future would place our newsletter in spam, can this harm the reputation of our website - or are they not related?

Hello,


A single person considering your Newsletter as spam won't have impact on your server reputation at all.
Being blacklisted does not have impact on your website but only on e-mails you send from the same server IP.

You can also connect AcyMailing to an external delivery service to avoid sending e-mails from your own IP:

Thanks, Adrien

I will check out an external smtp server.
