Sender contact information: make the organisation identifiable

Recipients should be able to identify the organisation, understand why it contacted them and find a dependable route for questions or rights requests.

Anonymous-looking mail resembles phishing and makes legitimate questions difficult to resolve. Commercial email rules in many jurisdictions also require particular sender and address information, although the exact requirements differ.

Use a clear message footer

  • Name the organisation responsible for the message.
  • Include the physical or registered address required for your context.
  • Provide a monitored email address, support page or other reliable channel.
  • Link to relevant privacy and preference information.
  • Keep details readable on mobile and with images blocked.

Do not hide important information using extremely small, low-contrast text. Review templates when the organisation, address or support routes change, and obtain legal advice for the jurisdictions in which you operate.

Key takeaway
Use an accurate legal or trading identity, current contact details and a monitored response channel.
Practical next step

Compare every active template footer with current company records, privacy information and support routes; replace stale details in the shared template source.

Using AuthSMTP

AuthSMTP authorises and relays your chosen From address, while your organisation controls the identity, footer, legal details and response channels displayed in the message.
