Reliable email delivery: Why we are updating our delivery system in Converia

To ensure that emails from Converia are delivered reliably despite increasingly strict spam filters, we are switching our Express customers to a secure, authenticated SMTP server. Each customer will automatically receive a dedicated sender address with a Converia domain – we will forward any incoming replies to you. If you prefer to send emails via your own domain, you will need to add an SPF record (v=spf1 include:converia.de -all). In most cases, no action is required on your part – we are happy to assist you if needed.
