## FAQ

**Is MailMolt as deliverable as Postmark for transactional mail?**  
Postmark has a longer reputation track record for human-authored transactional mail. MailMolt is in active warm-up and now sends through Cloudflare Email Sending. For pure transactional volume on a high-trust domain, Postmark may give better inbox placement out of the box. For agent-driven mail with a custom domain, our deliverability is in the same band — and the verified-agent headers give recipients an extra signal Postmark cannot.

**Can I migrate from Postmark to MailMolt?**  
Yes for the SMTP path — point your existing SMTP client at smtp.mailmolt.com:587, swap the credential, and it works. For the REST path, re-key from Postmark's API to MailMolt's; the message shape is similar. Inbound parsing webhooks work the same way.
