Your IT department will need to “whitelist” Symplicity’s network addresses in order to ensure smooth delivery of email from your Symplicity application to your user community, especially students. Additionally, Symplicity will engage with you to help setup an email relay server, if required. These activities will ensure that Symplicity can send e-mails with a school e-mail address in the “From” field, without services such as Windows Live treating it as spam.
