How are people sending emails from their self hosted apps? I Thought MailSender would be good but i guess not. Im about to try SendPulse now. Why isnt there a service that doesnt care what you do with your emails as long as you only sending max a few emails a day?
I just setup a gmail account, just gotta turn on legacy smtp
This is the easiest way to do it.
Postfix installed on the server itself. My apps don’t send many emails, why go through the complication and cost of hosting email externally?
Guys, we are on r/selfhosted, and all the top replies are recommending cloud services? The actual fuck. I personally host my own postal server and it works great.
I use mailgun. They give 1000 emails for free monthly which is plenty for me.
Send grid has no approval process and will give you 100/day for free
Docker Mail Server
All you need is a static IP address, a DNS record, a PTR record, an SPF record, and a DKIM record. See, it’s simple, right?
Gmail
gmail with separate account than primary one
AWS SES or Hetzner (where my mail id also hosted)
Strato
Sendgrid, Sparkpost, SES, plain gmail.
If you’re only sending emails to yourself, gmail works well with no cost.
Started using Purelymail. Easy setup with my multiple domains. Really cheap.
Mailjet. Free for 6000 emails/mo, which for me is plenty to cover backup notification, monitoring system notifications, etc.
Mailtrap
Check if your ISP has an SMTP service. I use mine for alerting when stuff breaks and haven’t had any issues. If you use your own domain name and have trouble with delivery, you could try setting up SPF.
