This article will show how to send email from Magento through SparkPost.
These instructions assume that you are using the excellent SMTP Pro extension and have a SparkPost account with a verified sending domain.
Follow these steps to configure Magento and SMTP Pro to send through your SparkPost account. These instructions were created using Magento 1.9 but should be applicable to most recent 1.x versions.

To configure Magento to use your sending domain in its From addresses, log into your Magento Admin Panel and navigate to System -> Configuration in the top menu.
From the General menu on the left, click Store Email Addresses and edit each Sender Email field to use a verified sending domain from your SparkPost account.
