About SentinMail

What SentinMail is, why it exists, and how it's different from other email platforms

What is SentinMail?

SentinMail is an email marketing and campaign platform that puts you in control. Build responsive emails with a visual drag-and-drop builder, manage your subscriber lists, send campaigns, track delivery — and do it all through your own SMTP server.

Unlike platforms that lock you into their sending infrastructure and charge per email, SentinMail separates the platform from the sending. You pay for features, not volume. You bring your own Gmail, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, or any SMTP server — and keep full control over your sender reputation, deliverability, and costs.

Why SentinMail?

Own Your Infrastructure

Connect your own SMTP — no forced sending fees, no vendor lock-in. Your reputation stays yours.

Built for Reliability

Every email is compiled through MJML for maximum compatibility across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and 50+ clients.

Visual Email Builder

Design with a professional-grade drag-and-drop editor. Rows, columns, reusable blocks, real-time preview.

Campaign + API Ready

Send marketing campaigns from the dashboard or automate transactional emails via the REST API.

How It Works

Bring your own SMTP

Connect your email provider — Gmail, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, or any server that speaks SMTP. SentinMail stores your credentials securely and sends through your infrastructure.

Build your emails

Use the drag-and-drop Visual Builder to create responsive emails without writing HTML. Or go with Basic mode if you prefer to code. Templates support personalization variables, conditionals, loops, and reusable saved blocks.

Grow your audience

Create subscriber lists, import contacts via CSV, or share your public subscribe page so visitors can sign up on their own. Organize your audience with segments and keep your list clean with suppression management.

Send and track

Send to entire lists, specific recipients, or compose custom one-off emails. Schedule campaigns for later. Track opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes in real time — on the dashboard or via webhooks.
