Ask HN: Affordable SMTP / Email Sender

4 pointsby xgbiabout 4 years ago
I own a small company where we monitor fridges and launch alert emails &amp; SMS when a threshold is reached.<p>We send about 1 mail per day, with bursts to 10-50 if there are alerts to send, but this is a very small amount of mail.<p>I tried the free sendgrid offer, but their IP is blacklisted with spamhaus... Their pro offer is more than $20&#x2F;month which is way above our hosting costs.<p>Considering that we only send a very few amount of mails, do you know of a reputable SMTP&#x2F;email sender that could be affordable for us ? Say, no more than $5 &#x2F; month?

AWS SES has a plain SMTP interface and it works fine for low volume (rare notification emails in our case)

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mxroute.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mxroute.com&#x2F;</a><p>100$ lifetime, 360 outbound&#x2F;hour. Or you could go with a yearly rate.<p>Might want to read the terms of service for your usecase, but it works for me with low traffic and multiple boxes&#x2F;accounts.

My business has been using a Gmail account for email registrations etc for many years. I think the Gmail limit is 500 per hour.

You can probably use GMail SMTP?

AWS SES with sendy.com as your interface, maybe?
