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).

I use Purelymail for mine. I have Uptime Kuma integrated with it using the SMTP server and also have different things like my password vault connected through it. It's generally lightning fast and budget friendly too.

It sounds very promising.

Thanks. I really appreciate all those “niche” products. With just web research I wouldn’t have found it.
