# What tests remain before I can use my connected buyer email?

First complete the receiving, sender, delivery-tracking, opt-out and provider-limit checks shown for your saved connection. If Receiving Check Required is shown, CloseMagnet support must finish that check before activation. A successful SMTP login is not proof that replies or receipts work.

Then use a team-controlled inbox for a bounded real test: send from CloseMagnet, confirm the exact-message delivery receipt, reply externally, answer inside the same CloseMagnet conversation, and reply again. Check the actual sender and Reply-To, threading and one small allowed attachment.

For blast opens, clicks and reply totals, use a separately authorized test blast and its actual sent link. An ordinary New Email is not automatically a blast, and an operator preview must not add buyer activity. See [Set Up Buyer Email](https://docs.closemagnet.com/guides/client-email-provider-setup).
