Enter the following in the **AUTH** Box (replace *username* and *apikey* with the actual values. Learn more [here](https://help.sendinblue.com/hc/en-us/articles/209462765-What-is-Sendinblue-SMTP-#h_01EJ8W90T3N57ZKDFKTCFSDPXZ).):

```
sendinblue_login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  client_send = : username : apikey
```

Add a route in the **ROUTERSTART**Configuration Box

```
send_via_sendinblue:
  driver = manualroute
  domains = ! +local_domains
  transport = sendinblue_smtp
  route_list = "* smtp-relay.sendinblue.com::587 byname"
  host_find_failed = defer
  no_more
```

Add a transport to the **TRANSPORTSTART**Configuration Box:

```
sendinblue_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  hosts = smtp-relay.sendinblue.com
  hosts_require_auth = smtp-relay.sendinblue.com
```

Once you have completed, save all changes. Exim will restart automatically and the changes will take effect.

To confirm that the setup is correct, follow the following steps:

1. Send an email from webmail (remember its subject).
2. Login to [Sendinblue](https://app.sendinblue.com/account/login) and proceed to the Transactional tab.
