How to use SendGrid SMTP when application requires email address as username?

Viewed 28

SendGrid recently moved to a setup where the username for any account to use the SMTP send is "apikey" and the password is the actual apikey. However, I have an application that requires an email address as the SMTP username. Does my SendGrid account have a "virtual email address" that I could use for the username in place of apikey?

There is not a virtual email address to be used as the username for the SMTP request. The username must be "apikey".

You will need to take this up with the application you are trying to use as there is no reason to block SMTP servers with usernames that aren't email addresses.
