Email Spoofing
What Is Email Spoofing? Email spoofing is a type of cyberattack where someone sends an email that appears to come from a different sender than the actual source. Attackers forge the “From” address in the email header to make the message appear to be from a trusted person or company. This technique is commonly used […]

Email Header
What Is an Email Header? An email header is the technical information at the top of every email that contains routing and delivery details. While you only see basic fields like “From,” “To,” and “Subject” in your inbox, the full email header includes much more information. It contains data about the sender’s server, authentication results, […]

Sender Reputation
What Is Sender Reputation? Sender reputation is a score that email providers assign to your domain and IP address based on your email sending behavior. Think of it like a credit score for email sending. The stronger your reputation, the more likely your emails will reach the inbox rather than the spam folder. Email providers […]

MIME
What Is MIME? MIME is a standard that allows emails to contain more than just plain text. It lets you include HTML formatting, images, attachments, and special characters in email messages. Without MIME, emails would only support basic ASCII text. MIME extends email functionality so you can send rich content like styled HTML emails, PDF […]

MX Record
What Is an MX Record? An MX record is a type of DNS record that tells email servers where to deliver emails for your domain. When someone sends an email to your address, the MX record directs that email to the correct mail server so it can reach your inbox. For example, if you receive […]

SSL
What Is SSL? SSL is a security protocol that encrypts data sent between two systems, like your computer and a website or email server. When you connect to a secure website or send an email through an encrypted connection, SSL scrambles the data so that only the intended recipient can read it. In email delivery, […]

Email Template
What Is an Email Template? An email template is a pre-designed, reusable email layout that maintains consistent formatting and branding across your messages. Instead of creating each email from scratch, you design a template once with your logo, colors, fonts, and structure. Then you simply fill in the specific content each time you send a […]

OTP
What Is an OTP? An OTP (one-time password) is a unique code that’s valid for only one login session or transaction. Unlike regular passwords you reuse, an OTP is generated anew each time and expires after a short period, usually within a few minutes. This makes OTPs much more secure than static passwords. OTPs are […]

SMTP Relay
What Is an SMTP Relay? An SMTP relay is a service that accepts your outgoing emails and forwards them to the recipient’s mail server. Think of it as a trusted intermediary that handles the delivery process for you. Instead of your website or application sending emails directly to recipients, the SMTP relay takes over and […]

Webhooks
What Is a Webhook? A webhook is an automated message sent from one system to another when a specific event happens. Unlike an API where you need to constantly check for updates, webhooks automatically push information to your application in real-time. With SendLayer, webhooks notify your application immediately when email events occur, like when a […]
Doc
SDK
What Is an SDK? An SDK is a collection of tools that helps developers integrate a service into their application. It includes pre-written code, documentation, and examples that make it faster and easier to connect your app with a service like SendLayer. Instead of writing all the code from scratch to connect to an API, […]
