Can I send email via Mandrill without having site ownership?


Can I send email via Mandrill without having site ownership? The challenge is I have verified email but I don't have access to change the site settings like " DKIM" & "SPF".

I have tried blog https://www.jotform.com/help/236-How-to-use-Mandrill-to-Send-Emails-From-Your-Own-Email-Address. But found now mandrill portal has changed & can't find Email menu or form builder menu with out adding domain.

I am doing a POC & can't add DKIM & SPF for Mandrill into main site right now due to long & tedious process of approval for organization site.

Is there any way I can test Mandrill service to send mail?


Solution

  • Well I got the answer, it's NO. If you signed up for a Mandrill account on or after December 1st, 2015, it's not possible.

    Added answer if somebody search for the same question.

    From Mandrill Site"

    If you signed up for a Mandrill account on or after December 1st, 2015, you must add SPF and DKIM records and verify ownership of your sending domains before you can send email through your account. Mandrill will not send any email from unverified domains or domains without valid SPF and DKIM records, including public domains like gmail.com, yahoo.com, and more.

    Custom signing domains are only available to Mandrill accounts created before December 1st, 2015. If you signed up for a new Mandrill account on or after December 1st, 2015, the signing_domain parameter will be ignored.

    Mail sent from unverified domains or domains without valid SPF and DKIM records will be rejected with the reject_reason, unsigned.
