Where do I set an address’s signature?

Settings → Addresses, open the address, then its Signature tab. Anyone sending from it signs with what is saved there.

How do I give every address the same signature?

Save it on one address, then use Apply to other addresses and tick the rest. Each gets its own copy, so a later edit to the first changes only the first.

Does the REST API return per-address settings?

Yes. GET and PATCH /settings take ?address= for the signature, the footer and both tracking switches. A send’s own tracking, or signature: false, still decides that one message.

Writing & sending

Per-address email settings
Set on the address that sends.

The signature, the Nextmail footer and tracking belong to the address a message leaves from. The catch-all answers for what it catches, and Apply to other addresses copies one address’s choice to the rest.

In short

What are per-address email settings?

Mail settings usually live in one place, which works until one address needs a different sign-off. Per-address settings keep the sign-off and tracking on the address itself, so what a message carries depends on where it leaves from, not on who sent it.

How it works

An address can answer for itself

billing@ can sign as the accounts team and send receipts untracked, and nothing it saves reaches another address. One with nothing saved sends with the Nextmail footer and tracking on.

Copy it to the rest

Apply to other addresses gives each address you tick this one’s signature and footer, or its tracking. Copy from… fills the box with another address’s saved signature.

Every send asks the From address

Composer, API, assistant, rule or schedule: each send is signed and tracked by its From address. An address the catch-all caught uses the catch-all’s settings.

What each address holds

Four settings, and what an address sends with while nothing is saved.

What you get

In the product today

Nothing saved means defaults

No signature, the Nextmail footer, and opens and clicks tracked.

The catch-all has a page

Its settings cover the addresses it catches, and a new address on the domain starts from a copy.

The address owns it

Everyone who sends from an address uses its signature and tracking.

Good practice

Getting the most out of it

01
Write one, then apply it
Save the signature on one address, apply it to the rest, then edit the few that differ.
02
Apply again after a change
A copy does not follow later edits, so apply again when the sign-off changes.
03
Set up the catch-all first
A new address on the domain starts from its signature and tracking, so settle those before adding addresses.

Works well with

Signature

Several sign-offs on each address you send from, with one picked for each message.

See when mail you sent was opened

Whether a message you sent has been opened, when, how many times and which of its links were followed. Off until you turn it on, and plain about the readings it cannot get.

Catch-all addresses

Every address on the domain receives, including ones that have never been created. One switch closes it.
