# Per-address email settings Set on the address that sends.

The signature, the Nextmail footer and tracking belong to the address a message leaves from. The catch-all answers for what it catches, and Apply to other addresses copies one address’s choice to the rest.

In short

## What are per-address email settings?

Mail settings usually live in one place, which works until one address needs a different sign-off. Per-address settings keep the sign-off and tracking on the address itself, so what a message carries depends on where it leaves from, not on who sent it.

How it works

## An address can answer for itself

billing@ can sign as the accounts team and send receipts untracked, and nothing it saves reaches another address. One with nothing saved sends with the Nextmail footer and tracking on.

## Copy it to the rest

Apply to other addresses gives each address you tick this one’s signature and footer, or its tracking. Copy from… fills the box with another address’s saved signature.

## Every send asks the From address

Composer, API, assistant, rule or schedule: each send is signed and tracked by its From address. An address the catch-all caught uses the catch-all’s settings.

## What each address holds

Four settings, and what an address sends with while nothing is saved.

signature HTML under a message, none at first openEmailSignature the footer on unsigned mail, on at first trackOpens the open pixel, on at first trackClicks link rewriting, on at first

What you get

## In the product today

Nothing saved means defaults

No signature, the Nextmail footer, and opens and clicks tracked.

The catch-all has a page

Its settings cover the addresses it catches, and a new address on the domain starts from a copy.

The address owns it

Everyone who sends from an address uses its signature and tracking.

Good practice

## Getting the most out of it

1. 01
   
   Write one, then apply it
   
   Save the signature on one address, apply it to the rest, then edit the few that differ.
2. 02
   
   Apply again after a change
   
   A copy does not follow later edits, so apply again when the sign-off changes.
3. 03
   
   Set up the catch-all first
   
   A new address on the domain starts from its signature and tracking, so settle those before adding addresses.

## Works well with

Signature

Several sign-offs on each address you send from, with one picked for each message.

See when mail you sent was opened

Whether a message you sent has been opened, when, how many times and which of its links were followed. Off until you turn it on, and plain about the readings it cannot get.

Catch-all addresses

Every address on the domain receives, including ones that have never been created. One switch closes it.
