Troubleshooting issues with the SMTP
Troubleshooting issues with the SMTP
In this article, we will go over the common problems you may encounter when you are using your SMTP with Sendinblue and the steps you can take to fix them.
Your emails are not being sent
There are a few possibilities as to why they are not being sent:
- This service has not been enabled for your account
- Your hourly sending bandwidth has been reached
- All your credits have been used
- The selected sender for your template is not valid
- Your settings are incorrect
- The Sendinblue platform is temporarily unavailable
This service has not been enabled for your account
To be able to use the Sendinblue SMTP, the option must be activated on your account. You can click here to read more about it.
If you see an orange banner like the one below, this means that the Sendinblue SMTP has not been activated for your account. You can create a ticket from your account or contact us here to put in a request and have it activated for your account.
Your hourly sending bandwidth has been reached
Sendinblue applies an hourly sending bandwidth to maintain the sender’s reputation of new users of shared IPs. You can read about it in detail here.
You can easily check if you have reached your limit, by taking a look at the indicator in the left-hand menu under Quota.
This quota does not apply to users with dedicated IP addresses.
All your credits have been used
Your transactional emails will not be sent if all of your credits have been used. They will be held for a maximum of 48 hours until additional email credits have been added to your account. You can easily check if your email credits have been used up in the left-hand menu under your Plan.
The selected sender for your template is not valid
If you have recently bought or configured a dedicated IP, the templates used for your transactional emails might not have been correctly updated and are still being configured for your former senders.
To check that your templates have been configured with the correct sender:
- Go to Transactional > Template on your account.
- Edit the From Email field in the relevant email templates.
Your settings are incorrect
Check the connection URL for the SMTP server (smtp-relay.sendinblue.com) and that port 587 is enabled.
You can read more about how to configure the SMTP server here.
If you are not able to authorize the domains, the following Sendinblue IPs need to be added to your whitelist: 94.143.17.4, 94.143.17.6 and 185.107.232.0/24.
The Sendinblue platform is temporarily unavailable
The Sendinblue platform may be temporarily unavailable. You can check the status of the Sendinblue platform by going to the Status page.
You are unable to log into the Sendinblue SMTP relay
There are a few possibilities as to why you are unable to log in:
Relay access has been refused
Authentication may have failed: check your API key, which you can find here.
Login is not possible
The Sendinblue server may be temporarily unavailable. You can check the status of the Sendinblue platform by going to the Status page.
Your emails are not being sent by the correct IP
If your emails are not being sent by the correct IP:
Your dedicated IP is not configured for the SMTP
To check that your dedicated IP has been correctly configured for the SMTP
- Go to the Dedicated IP page.
- Click Manage. If you can see the option Use this IP for transactional emails, then it has not been associated with transactional emails.
- Just click Use this IP for transactional emails to associate it.

Understanding the format of the RSS default template with OCSC
In this article, we’ll explain how to use the RSS default template we recommend you to use in Share your blog posts to your clients using our RSS campaign integration – Design of your email.
Before we start
- Make sure to read our article What is a RSS feed? if you’re not familiar with RSS feed or key names.
About the default template
The principle is different from a standard email campaign. Here the idea is to automatically retrieve the content of your blog and add it to an email campaign so that you don’t have to manually write a new campaign every time to want to update your audience.
This RSS default template contains a pre-configured repeatable block with key names (RSS tags) so that you can quickly and easily get going with your RSS campaigns.
How do we automatically retrieve the content of your blog?
This is when the Repeat block (dynamic list) option and Key names come into play!
Let’s take the definition of a repeatable block and adapt it to the RSS campaign integration:
With a repeatable block, you can design email campaigns that contain key names (RSS tags here) to dynamically populate articles in the email content.
For our use case with blog articles, it will retrieve the information from your articles (image, title, description, etc.) thanks to the RSS key names, and will dynamically add them to the email.
Example of a RSS campaign
To get this result being populated automatically:
Here’s how the default template will look like:
Key names
The key names we added by default refer to the blog article elements:
- Image of the article (when you click the image block): {{ item.ENCLOSURE }}
- Title of the article: {{ item.TITLE }}
- Publication date of the article: {{ item.PUBDATE }}
- Description of the article: {{ item.DESCRIPTION | safe }}
❗️ Important
To prevent any unwanted HTML tags from showing up in your email, you must add the “safe” filter to your key name in the following way: {{ item.DESCRIPTION | safe }}. To learn more, check our dedicated article Modify the formatting of your placeholders with filters.
- URL of the article: {{ item.LINK }}
Advanced configuration for key names
You can use the RSS tag <content:encoded> as {{ item.CONTENT_ENCODED }}.
IMPORTANT: The “:” from the RSS tag will have to be replaced by “_” in the RSS integration, content:encoded becomes CONTENT_ENCODED.
Usually images data is inside <content:encoded> tag so if your images are not working with the description tag then you can try using the <content:encoded> RSS tag instead.
Repeat block
The Repeat block (dynamic list) option lets you design and format email templates and campaigns that contain variables for a list of items (here, the blog articles) that will be replaced dynamically at the time the email is sent.
You don’t have to duplicate the block if you want several articles to be displayed. Indeed, the block will repeat the pattern for as many articles as you like. Just modify the limit in the Repeat block options.
You can move or remove some key names, but make sure not to modify the ones you would like to keep.
