e-mail relay service recommendation?

[potemkin_ai]

Hello! I was about to be a happy self hosted mail server user, when I found out that GMail refuse all of the e-mails from my IP address, because it was abused earlier.

GMail says that I need to find some proper e-mail relay service - is there any recommendations of such a services, that doesn't charge per every mail served?

Thank you in advance!

@potemkin_ai Hey there. there are actually quite a few discussions on this already in the forum, I'd suggest running a few searches on some of the relay names. Here are a few previous posts you may find helpful to get you started, but I know there are many more too:

My personal experience... Mailjet is great for a "free" one, and Mailgun is good too for a really inexpensive price point. If you can justify the price, I hear Postmark is one of the better premium ones. AWS also has pretty cheap relay rates.

The documentation is here for which ones are supported by Cloudron, and you'll pretty much have to do your own research and testing to determine which ones fit your use-case the best, as they all have their own pros and cons. I can't say any of them are necessarily better than the other, it mostly just comes down to what factors are most important for you and what the budget is, etc.

Hope that helps.

PS - This should be a "Discussion" topic not a "Support" topic since this isn't a problem with Cloudron. Just for the future.

@d19dotca thank you, I appreciate your quick response and correcting on the wrong topic!

I did the search indeed, but I guess it was a wrong search query
