# VMTA and BBE

FeedOtter allows you to set the Eloqua BBE (bounceback email) and VMTA (custom sending IP) settings if your Eloqua account supports these features.  Please adhere to the following guidelines if you wish to use these options:

The BBE settings must be an email address and EXACTLY match one of the options displayed in your Eloqua account. It is case-sensitive.

The VMTA setting is a bit more difficult to find and requires using your web-browser's development tools.

1. In Eloqua, create a new email and select the Gear from the right-hand menu to display the settings.
2. Right-click on the dropdown for VMTA
3. Choose Inspect to open your developer tools
4. Expand the \<input> node until you see the individual dropdown options
5. Record the "value" number associated with the VMTA you wish FeedOtter to use

In the screenshot below, you would enter "1" into the FeedOtter interface to set this property.

This is the value we pass to the Eloqua API.
