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.
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
AWS SES or Hetzner (where my mail id also hosted)
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.
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.
gmail with separate account than primary one
Send grid has no approval process and will give you 100/day for free
Started using Purelymail. Easy setup with my multiple domains. Really cheap.
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.
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 Fastmail with a specific domain and/or aliases to separate it easily by rules as needed. But I do pay for Fastmail and only send emails to myself so may or may not be applicable to you.
I do the same. I like how each application gets its own password and only gets the permissions I want to give it (usually just smtp)
I pay $7 for a noreply user in my business starter Google workspace.
