 * My site is hosted on Bluehost.com but my email is via Microsoft Office 365. I
   tired Mandrill and all emails were going to my recipients’ SPAM folder. So I’m
   trying Postman as your seems to be
 * Postman will send mail via 🔐SMTP-STARTTLS to smtp.office365.com:587 using Password(
   Login) authentication.
    The Test email failed.
 * Here’s the Diagnostic message:

 * You didn’t use the Wizard.

   > Status (Configured|Ready|Connected): Yes | Yes | No
 * Is not a valid configuration at Bluehost because they block the ports to office365.
   com.
 * > I tired Mandrill and all emails were going to my recipients’ SPAM folder
 * If you download the Postman v1.7 beta, the Mandrill API should work for you. 
   It uses the HTTPS port.
 * Otherwise you must use a Bluehost email with the Bluehost mail server (mail.evokemagazine.
   com)

 * Thanks, Jason.
    Since I’m using Office 365, I don’t think I can also have mail.
   evokemagazine.com on Bluehost at the same time, can I? Also, I thought Mandrill
   and Postman were, essentially, competitive plugins. Why would one choose to use
   both Postman and Mandrill?

 * No, either you use Office365 for your domain email or you use Bluehost for your
   domain email. But since you’re a Bluehost website you can’t also use the Office365
   mail server for the website… but you can sign up your Office365 domain email 
   at Mandrill (or SendGrid) and send from Bluehost via their API service.

 * Mandrillapp.com is an email service.
    wpMandrill is a WordPress plugin that implements
   the Mandrill API Postman is a WordPress plugin that implements the Mandrill API
 * You can’t use them both, but you do get to choose which you want to use to send
   your email to Mandrill.

 * Thanks. I’ll probably switch back to email hosted on Bluehost.

 * Looks like your SPF is set for both so you shouldn’t have any issues switching
   back!
 *     ```
       evokemagazine.com. 14399 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.bluehost.com -all"
       ```
