    -I desined an On-Demand WF then select records and run it.I recieve Email delivery failur message

    -I create a marketing listof target records,then a quick campaign and an Email activity but again received Email delivery failur or delay message after 1-2 days in my email.

  • Almost certainly the Email Router has a configuration error if you have one set up.  I'd start with its settings.

  • Hi

    The user profile which is sending the email, what option is set on its profile for Incoming and outgoing email.

    Is it None, Microsoft Outlook or Email Router.

    To check this,

    Go to settings --> Administration --> Users --> Open your user profile.

    Under the heading Email access configuration check the values.

    -------------------------

    On email router, you need to publish settings for Incoming and outgoing emails. 

    You can find details on how to do this, in ms crm planning and installation guides.

    Please reply if you need more information

  • Before using CRM to send bulk email to your leads, please consider if this is a good idea or not. Sending bulk email to 1,500 email addresses with a large attachment is likely to lead to your IP address being blacklisted as a spam sender. It is also likely that many of the recipients do not want to receive a large attachment and will block or delete your email.

    There are plenty of training courses, books and articles that show you how to configure CRM's email features, but I would advise you to use a third-party email marketing service and integrate it with CRM to meet your requirements.
