The title is a little bit misleading as the community version is still available and MIT licensed.<p>Maintaining an open source project like Nodemailer is tough work and I understand the author&#x27;s approach. While open source is gratifying, it is very much an energy drain.<p>The pricing is inline with what &#x27;Big Co.&#x27; would pay although I would consider email to be within reach of any respectable developer and not justifying a recurring 780euros&#x2F;year. That&#x27;s probably the &quot;I&#x27;d rather do it myself&quot; side of me talking rather than a pragmatic thought.<p>Best of luck to the maintainer Andris Reinman and many thanks for having brought Nodemailer where it is now.

The title is definitely misleading.
