Decision guide

Alternatives to Basic SMTP authentication for Microsoft 365.

A decision guide for replacing reusable mailbox passwords in devices and applications.

Start with the requirement

Choose based on sender identity, recipient scope, client capability, network constraints, volume, and who will operate the solution.

Update the client

When the client supports OAuth for SMTP or Microsoft Graph, use that native capability first. It removes the need for a compatibility bridge.

Use Microsoft infrastructure

SMTP relay, Direct Send, High Volume Email, and Azure Communication Services Email each solve different sender, recipient, network, and volume scenarios.

Use a focused bridge

smtpify365 is intended for low-friction migration where authenticated SMTP is the only practical interface and mail should continue through a specific Microsoft mailbox.
