Premium users have the ability to send emails that go out from the Gleam platform via their own SMTP provider such as SendGrid or Mailgun.

Applications that support Custom SMTP:

Custom SMTP is configured at the global Site level. You can find Custom SMTP settings under Site Settings > Advanced > Custom SMTP
