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 actually setup SES for my Lemmy instance. I was evaluating SendGrid but less than 24 hours after signing up they closed my account with zero explanation so...yeah lol.

I was sandboxed in SES initially but I created a support ticket asking for production access and I was good to go. No issues with SES thus far.
