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.
I use mailgun. They give 1000 emails for free monthly which is plenty for me.
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
Same, set up a separate email that I use exclusively for services. Did this as if the app password is hacked, they have access to an account with nothing but notifications.

Because it would be overrun with phishing abuse in a matter of minutes?
AWS SES or Hetzner (where my mail id also hosted)
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.
Started using Purelymail. Easy setup with my multiple domains. Really cheap.
Postfix installed on the server itself. My apps don’t send many emails, why go through the complication and cost of hosting email externally?
Mailtrap
Amazon SES. My monthly bills are between 3 and 8 cents per month
How did you guys get approved on Amazon SES? My application was instantly rejected when I specified it for outbound emails.
I’m noob here, how to setup spam filters while trying to receive emails
First set up spam filters, then send emails. Both at the same time isn’t very convenient.
Send grid has no approval process and will give you 100/day for free
gmail with separate account than primary one
Selfhosted Mailcow.
Are there any third party services that don’t require phone numbers for sign-ups?
