SMTP relay

Buzzmark speaks SMTP, so anything that can send email - your framework’s mailer, a CLI tool, a CRM - can send through it. Every message still gets tracking, suppression checks, deliverability routing and your message log, exactly like the API.

Connection settings

Generate the token on the hive’s page in the dashboard - it is shown once. Because the token is the credential, treat it as a secret and rotate it from the dashboard if it leaks.

Sender requirements

• The From address must use a verified domain on your account (unless sender enforcement is disabled).
• Recipients on the hive’s suppression list are rejected, just like the API.
• Open and click tracking are applied per the hive’s settings.

Quick test (swaks)

swaks \
  --server smtp.buzzmarkapp.com --port 587 -tls \
  --auth-user bzm_srv_... --auth-password bzm_srv_... \
  --from hello@yourdomain.com \
  --to customer@example.com \
  --header "Subject: Hello from SMTP" \
  --body "It works."

Examples

Laravel - config/mail.php / .env:

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.buzzmarkapp.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_USERNAME=bzm_srv_...
MAIL_PASSWORD=bzm_srv_...
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=hello@yourdomain.com

Node.js - Nodemailer:

const transport = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: "smtp.buzzmarkapp.com",
  port: 587,
  secure: false,        // STARTTLS upgrades the connection
  auth: { user: "bzm_srv_...", pass: "bzm_srv_..." },
});

await transport.sendMail({
  from: "hello@yourdomain.com",
  to: "customer@example.com",
  subject: "Hello from SMTP",
  html: "<h1>It works</h1>",
});

Next

• API reference - the REST equivalent, plus your message log.
• Webhooks - react to delivery, bounce, open and click events.
