Note: If you get the error "Net::SMTPUnknownError: could
not get 3xx (550)" when sending a test message, you might be blocked by your
domain as a potential spammer. Aspera recommends that you set an SPF record
for your domain to identify which mail servers are allowed to send email on
behalf of your domain. For more information about SPF and how to create an
SPF record, see
