Email Queue
Important
When setting up the Email Queue in your system, you are technically able to connect to any smtp account. However, a Mandrill (Transactional Email) account is required in order to use the Direct Email functionality of the system, as well as retrieving analytics such as opens and clicks, and receiving notifications when emails are opened. These features are only available when connected to a Transactional Email (which is a product of MailChimp) account. You will need at least a basic Transactional Email account, the free accounts do not support these features.
