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).

    Nevermind. After days of back and forth with them they said that they only have that feature available to big companies that have an account with them for a year or more, which is definitely annoying. I’m going to give Brevo a shot next, I heard someone mention them in a thread before about this. It looks like their free tier allows for 300 emails a day. I’ll let you know how that goes if you are still looking.
