agrē Emailer
agrē uses Tronia's mail server to send email.
File > Config Options > Company | Reports || Email Defaults
To comply with anti-spoofing protocols, all emails sent from Tronia's mail server are required to be actually from Tronia.
This means all agrē emails need a FROM address ending in "@tronia.com".
Your FROM address will be formatted as follows: [CompanyName]-mailer@tronia.com.
To make it easier for your customers to contact you, check Reply To and your own address will be used as your email 'Reply To' address.
