Customer service address
You can include an automatic customer service address in your emails using the $SENDERADDRESS$ placeholder. When a campaign containing this placeholder is sent, the address you enter here is displayed in the email campaign.
To add $SENDERADDRESS$ to email campaigns, select Data fields from EasyEditor's toolbar and then select Sender address from the side panel.
This is especially useful if you're based in the US, or are sending into US inboxes, and are therefore required to comply with CAN-SPAM regulations.

Having a clearly visible postal address for recipients to reply to is a legal necessity to comply with CAN-SPAM regulations.
Email regulatory settings
You can enforce different email regulatory settings settings on your account.
Learn how to use verified double opt-in.
Enable double opt-in for email
You have three options for triggering automatic double opt-in confirmation emails to new contacts:
Do not enforce double opt-in
New contacts are not sent an automatic double opt-in (DOI) confirmation email.
You can manually send a contact a DOI confirmation email by changing their opt-in type to Verified double. To learn more, check out Edit a contact's opt-in type.
Enforce double opt-in for signups from signup forms and some API methods only (default)
New contacts signing up from a Dotdigital signup form are automatically sent a verified DOI confirmation email, as are contacts added individually through the API. New contacts coming through any other channel aren’t sent one, including contacts added in bulk through the API.Enforce double opt-in for all signups, including bulk uploads
All new contacts automatically get sent a DOI confirmation email, regardless of how they're created.
Using a sign up form from Surveys, pages and forms doesn’t trigger DOI emails unless you choose Enforce double opt-in for all signups, including bulk uploads.
Expire pending contacts after 30 days
Contact email addresses are added to your account in a Pending state when they have been sent a DOI confirmation email and have not yet confirmed their opt-in using the link provided. Enabling this setting automatically removes an email address from the Pending list 30 days after they were sent the DOI confirmation email.
Unsubscribe and preference centre settings
You can choose what happens when a contact selects Unsubscribe in an email campaign, and which preference centre is shown when a contact want to change their marketing preferences.
When a contact selects Unsubscribe, you can either show the preference centre - allowing contacts to adjust their personal information, and opt in and out of marketing preferences and lists - or show the default unsubscribe page.
You can also choose whether the preference centre shown is the default one, or a custom preference centre on a URL or on one of your Dotdigital pages. You can preview your chosen preference centre too.
When saving settings for a custom preference centre, you're asked to confirm it has a way for contacts to appropriately unsubscribe in a manner that fulfils your obligations under the appropriate regulations.
Show the preference centre when a contact unsubscribes
The preference centre allows contacts to adjust their personal information, or opt in and out of lists, when they go to unsubscribe. Not having this enabled just shows the basic Unsubscribe page instead.
Learn how to set up a preference centre.
Features
There are a number of features you can enable by selecting the appropriate check box.
The list includes some permanent features, and may occasionally display varying beta features that you might want to try out. When beta features are released with a standard upgrade of the platform, they become available for enablement in this section.
The permanent features that can be enabled and disabled are:
Include attachments in forwarded replies
In order to protect you from any potential threats, campaign replies forwarded with attachments are, by default, removed. You can allow them by enabling this feature.Enable send throttling
Enable this feature to allow the sending of a large campaign to be spread over a longer period of time, rather than send at our default large send speed.Enable contact scoring
Contact scoring allows contacts to be scored based on their engagement and the data you hold on them. When enabled, Contact scoring is available to your account's users in the Contacts area of the Settings menu.Display account time in header
Enable this setting to display a clock for your time zone in the top left hand corner of the application header. This is useful if you have users in a different time zone to you, as the same clock displays for them too and everyone will be able to see and reference the time as set in your account.Suppress SMS contacts that have hard bounced
When enabled, this setting means that any mobile number which hard bounces when you send an SMS to it is added to the account suppression list.Filter non-human engagements and interactions from email reports
Some email security software can inflate engagement metrics in your reporting. Enabling this feature can help to filter out these engagements.Enable AMP support for your email campaigns
Enable the use of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) components in your email campaigns.

Use click data instead of open data as the primary metric to power certain account features.
