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 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?
