Who can suggest an ethical SMTP provider for low volume transactional mail? I’m willing to pay up to 2€/month for a few hundred mails per month.
I don’t know what you mean by “ethical”, but I use Sendgrid. They have a free tier that can send up to 100 emails a day.
What’s “ethical”?
I bet op is one of those hippies that doesn’t like their SMTP tested on animals
Yeah, sorry it’s not a precise term. I mean a non asshole company.
Mostly that they respect the privacy of my users and that they don’t have shady business practices that want to push you towards an over-expensive paid tier.
I’m using Postmark for my Vaultwarden. Nothing major I know of.
Been using Purelymail, full email, but SMTP as well, and love the service thus far.
Exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot!
I use purelymail, you can register unlimited number of domains and get SMTP + IMAP in return (+ Roundcube webmail). Perfect for my usage with few automated services
Amazing! Now this is something I haven’t heard of. I think we might have a winner here! Best thing, I could use it for transactional mail on all my websites for 10€/yr. Including as many inboxes as needed. Nice!
“Low volume” vs. “A few hundred mails per month”
OK, what of the above?
A few hundred a month is just a few per day. That is pretty low volume by most standards.
I would say in general if the SMTP server could be replaced by a single human writing and mailing snail-mail letters by hand it qualifies as low volume.
This is something you used to be able to do for free, no problem. It’s only a few of the big mail accepting companies being extra shitty about accepting mail making this tough. Looking at you Microsoft. So a few hundred mails per month is ridiculous both on storage, bandwidth and CPU consumption.
I know. I was there, before Sanford Wallace invented the email spam and forced any sane SMTP server into password protections and whitelists.
