How outbound email from BMS works

You can configure outbound email from BMS by either using Kaseya's SMTP settings or custom SMTP settings. The Admin > My Company > Outbound Email page is the page where you can configure outbound email from BMS.

By default, the Use Custom SMTP Settings in the above page is set to No.

  • BMS uses sender authentication using domain keys for sg.kaseya.com since the BMS application is sending using @kaseya.com as its email address.
  • SendGrid IP for BMS 149.72.182.166 is allocated as sending IP. This is applicable for all BMS/Vorex servers.
  • SMTP traffic is relayed through SendGrid to its destination.
  • If your emails are going to Junk folder, please get in touch with our support team to get your domain authenticated.
