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.
Send grid has no approval process and will give you 100/day for free
Postfix installed on the server itself. My apps don’t send many emails, why go through the complication and cost of hosting email externally?

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.
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.
Gmail
gmail with separate account than primary one
Are you sending lots of mails to a large group of users. If not why not use any normal e-mail service like gmail?
Strato
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?
Mailtrap
Started using Purelymail. Easy setup with my multiple domains. Really cheap.
AWS SES or Hetzner (where my mail id also hosted)
Gmail with app specific password + Postfix docker container loganmarchione/docker-postfixrelay. I configure gmail in one spot (the container) and everything else connects to that container to relay out. You can easily limit destination email addresses with the container as well, so you don’t have to worry about an app going rogue.
