Currently you can only configure one email service (i.e. Sendgrid, Mandrill, SES). It would be nice to be able to specify different email gateways to use for different purposes. (e.g. Transaction Email vs Marketing Email) Each email gateway could be specific to campaign or email. Having different IPs for these different purposes allows to manage domain reputation and is critical to avoid disruption of transactional emails because of promotional campaigns ---

This feature is critical for those who want to process transactional/notifications AND promotional emails, altogether in Mautic, in order to have the full view of the communications with contact accross all the touchpoints/channels. The lack of this feature jeopardize transactional notification, whenever lead has marked DNC for promotional. Each email use by default the primary email gateway, unless it is set otherwise in the email template. ---

No news? This feature is something that would be extremely useful for our organization ---

Currently i have another issue that may be considered in this feature request. If u have a sever that u use to mail. And some provider blocks your ISP because they disagree on something. U have to switch all your mails to another service because one ISP won’t allow your mail. I think it would be nice to make some rules for it. Mail to domain x, bulk mail/priority. use provider X or provider Y. Maybe even depending on the number of queued items for this provider. So u can use it to balance the load over multiple providers (for whatever reason). ---

> [@alban](#): > > Having different IPs for these different purposes allows to manage domain reputation and is critical to avoid disruption of transactional emails because of promotional campaigns This feature is important one! It is essentially bring Mailwizz’s core feature into Mautic. You can add multiple SMTPs and specify exact SMTP for each email/campaign you want to send ---

My idea is: Unless I don’t see it already implemented (?), a simple idea would be to have different mail setups for **transactional** from **marketing** email messages. Should be easy to implement. It’s important to keep mailsender IPs and reputation clean. Thanks. ---

I think it would be interesting to configure the provider based on the email address. Then later on there could be an overwrite for certain emails or campaigns. Now switching to a different provider if an ISP is blocking your mail would be a very interesting feature as well. ---

In case folks land here looking for an update, there’s a PR merged in Mautic 7 which could set the foundations for this becoming a UI feature: > > > See https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html#multiple-email-transports > > > |… Issue(s) addressed | Not sure if a separate issues need to be created > > > \## Description > > I'm developing plugin that should allow for multiple mailer transports and I would like to follow symfony's mechanism to do so. > https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html#multiple-email-transports > > I can modify the configuration of the \`framework\` bundle by using a prepend in my own plugin/extension > https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/prepend\_extension.html > but I face an error from symfony that I can't define both \`transports\` and \`dsn\` for mailer. > My proposal is to change to the long form of defining the mailer configuration so extensions have the chance to add more transports.
