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?

    Because it would be overrun with phishing abuse in a matter of minutes?

    I use mailgun. They give 1000 emails for free monthly which is plenty for me.

    Postfix installed on the server itself. My apps don’t send many emails, why go through the complication and cost of hosting email externally?

      How did you guys get approved on Amazon SES? My application was instantly rejected when I specified it for outbound emails.

        First set up spam filters, then send emails. Both at the same time isn’t very convenient.

    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?

    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.

      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.
