    I use mailgun. They give 1000 emails for free monthly which is plenty for me.

    Guys, we are on r/selfhosted, and all the top replies are recommending cloud services? The actual fuck. I personally host my own postal server and it works great.

    Postfix installed on the server itself. My apps don’t send many emails, why go through the complication and cost of hosting email externally?

      How did you guys get approved on Amazon SES? My application was instantly rejected when I specified it for outbound emails.

      Same, set up a separate email that I use exclusively for services. Did this as if the app password is hacked, they have access to an account with nothing but notifications.

    Docker Mail Server

    All you need is a static IP address, a DNS record, a PTR record, an SPF record, and a DKIM record. See, it’s simple, right?

    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?

    Because it would be overrun with phishing abuse in a matter of minutes?

    Seconding everyone suggesting to just use a Gmail account.

    But to add to that, I created a small VM running Postfix that is an open relay that sends mail via that Gmail account. This way, I can use the Postfix VM as the SMTP server for all the other services and I don’t have to remember and sprinkle that Gmail password all over the place.

    Postfix’s main.cf can be secured by configuring it to route all mail through that Gmail account, overwrite the ‘from’ address, and restrict the ‘to’ field to send only to myself and no other recipients. Then it doesn’t matter what the ‘from’ of the various self-hosted services are, Postfix transforms the headers into something appropriate and sends it to Gmail to be delivered.
