Hi there,
what SMTP relay’s / services do you use or can recommend for sending monitoring alerts.
I’m running a few services, but mostly all my custom scripts, and tasks are configured to sent an e-mail if something goes “off-script”. Before I used my gmail account - but I’m in the middle of migrating away, and my requirements have evolved.
I’ve searched but I haven’t found anything good. Services like Mailgun, Mailtrap etc. are nice - but their bundle’s are a bit much for my taste.
The service/ relay should meet the following requirements.
- bring your own domain (use your own domain/ or sub-domains as sender address)
- must have DKIM (anything else is not a serious service!)
- support SMTP via TLS
- support multiple SMTP clients, with each different credentials/ secrets
- Allow custom header/ envelope changes
At the moment I’m looking at Amazon SES, because I don’t expect a lot of messages (I had 3 alerts in the last 1,5 yrs).
I use mailgun at the moment. Still free for me and I send 2-3 mails per day. I had problems once with some mails not arriving or landing in spam, but that was fixed after a day or so.
Edit: Just checked the dashboard and I’m getting 1000 mails per month for free. Can’t find exactly where they offer this plan anymore though, so they might have removed that.
Was signed up there as well, when they started like years ago. But I couldn’t get back into their free tier.
