Your email campaigns will appear to be from this email address and all replies will be delivered there (even though our server is handling the delivery). You may also opt to prevent Emailer from delivering after hours. With this option enabled Emailer will only attempt to send your Email Campaign between the hours of 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Note that selecting this option may increase the amount of time it takes Emailer to successfully deliver your Email Campaign.
