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.
