One of the things I don't really want to self host is a mail server, especially for outbound mail. Currently I'm using a Gmail account, but I want to change that.

What do you all use for things like notifications sent through smtp?

I'm leaning towards AWS SES since it's cheap, but I know there are some other options like mailgun and sendgrid.

I'm using mailgun and have had zero issues with it. Hard to beat since it's free.

I might be missing something, but isn't mailgun only free for the first month? It looked like their cheapest plan is $35/mo after the 30day trial.

You know I think you’re right. I might be grandfathered into an old plan. I’ve been using mailgun for over 3 years
