Pool
The set of SMTP accounts available for projects and campaigns to send through.
What is the Pool screen?
Pool is the register of SMTP sending accounts available to Email Service. It shows how many are set up and how many are currently active, so you can see at a glance whether you have sending capacity available before running a campaign.
Why track a pool of SMTP accounts?
Sending volume is spread across more than one SMTP account so no single account gets overloaded or flagged. Pool gives you one place to see all of them and their status, instead of checking each provider separately.
When would I use this screen?
- Checking how many SMTP accounts are currently active before a large send
- Adding a new SMTP account to increase sending capacity
- Confirming which accounts a project or campaign can draw on
Before you start
Adding an account to the pool needs SMTP credentials for that account — see Pool SMTP for how those are configured.
Reading the stats
The Pool screen shows a stat card for Active SMTPs — the number of sending accounts currently available to use.
How to add a pool entry
- Open Pool
Go to Email Service → Pool.
- Click Add Pool
Use the + Add Pool action at the top of the page.
- Enter the SMTP account's details
Provide the sending account's connection details. See Pool SMTP for what's typically required.

Once saved, the account is available to be drawn on by projects and campaigns.
The Pool list
Each row represents one SMTP account available to the module, with its current status.
