Send outbound email reliably when your app, mail server, ISP, or hosting provider limits SMTP. DNSExit SMTP Relay helps you bypass port 25 blocks, improve inbox delivery, and send from authenticated domains — starting free.
Point your mail client, server, application, or device to relay.dnsexit.com, authenticate, and start sending through DNSExit.
Just set your outgoing SMTP to relay.dnsexit.com with your relay credentials. Works with Outlook, Thunderbird, Exchange, Postfix, Sendmail, and any SMTP-capable device.
Send through authenticated SMTP with STARTTLS encryption, so credentials and message traffic are protected in transit.
No credit card required. Start sending immediately on the free plan. Upgrade to a paid tier only when your sending volume grows beyond the free limit.
Improve delivery by authorizing DNSExit in SPF and enabling DKIM signing for domains that send through your relay account.
Create unlimited relay sub-users under your account, each with their own login and sending limit. Ideal for MSPs, agencies, or resellers managing clients.
Every email sent through the relay is logged. Search by sender, recipient, date, sending IP, or domain. Click Show Delivery Status to confirm delivery instantly.
DNSExit Mail Relay is useful anywhere email needs to leave your network or application reliably.
