    Dropcontact
    We wanted to get email details of certain attendees of a particular conference happenning in the US. Dropcontact helped by providing exact email ids that helped us schedule a meeting with the particular employee at the conference. It also helps in getting other details like LinkedIn profile so we can connect with them on linkedin making it more realistic and not a spam

    SMTP Email Relay Solutions is a great service if you are in a field where sending out bulk information, such as monthly statements to clients, invoices, or any back-to-back emails that would normally get flagged for "spam" is required.

    • As with any technology on a server, we sometimes see issues with downtime related to network changes or firewall updates.
    • It can be a challenge to work with some of our older applications when the TLS feature is used.
    • I wish there was a more direct way to reliably use SMTP for mass email sends without the fear of being blacklisted.

    It is a very simple UI, just upload a CSV of all the contact email IDs you require and it will provide you with email IDs from the list (Enrichment process). It will enrich upto 80-90% of the contacts and rest will be returned as blanks without email ids but thats ok. You will definitely have success with the enriched data

    The user interface is easy and no addition skills is required to learn Dropcontact. Other tools have lot of other features as well that will be tried to upsell but this tool isn't like that. It helps find the best email address that doesn't bounce and also updates emails and gives you the most recent email id even if the person switched organizations.

    Office 365 does use secure non-standard ports for SMTP connectivity causing a problem with older programs. SMTP Email Delivery from Exchange solves this problem by giving the network admin full control over ports and specific program connections. While we do use both Office 365 and the SMTP Email Delivery we find that a mix is needed in order to meet all expectations for our end users. The majority of our SMTP communications, for users, go through Office 365 while the majority of our applications and servers do go through the SMTP Email Delivery service.

    • It's the easiest way to send mail out. No worries about complex configurations.
    • It can be finicky when used in a hybrid Office 365 environment to get the proper pathways secured and working.
    • I wish there were a better way to send out mass emails, on-site, without our domain or server IP being blacklisted.
