Replies

Replies are emails sent from your contacts in response to your messages. Depending on the nature of your message, replies can be an important metric. For instance, a personalized message sent from your sales team should solicit email replies. Also, message replies sometimes get caught in spam filters or junk folders. By aggregating replies, we ensure that you have easy access to messages from your contacts.

On the All Replies page, you can view all of the replies that you have received. In order to track replies, you need to Enable Sender Authentication when sending your message. Enabling Sender Authentication automatically encodes your message with SenderID and DomainKeys/DKIM. To enable Sender Authentication, click the enable Enable Sender Authentication checkbox when you are sending your message. If you are sending personalized messages or if you are sending B2C marketing email, then you should certainly consider using DomainKeys. For more information on configuring the replies settings in your account, see Configuring The Reply Settings in help.
