Email Hosting w/SMTP, what do you use? (partizle.com)

I've recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I'm going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I'm plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification emails from my server doesn't seem worth it to me. I've not looked into what all else comes with Proton's Business features, but i'm not really running a business or trying to start one up.

What do you use? do you like it? How's the cost/features?

I was using smtp2go, I'm now testing purelymail for my personal email needs. I don't think the latter is suited for sending a large number of emails.

Yeah the one thing I found with them (purelymail) is you really have to keep an eye on the billing usage, there will be a point where advanced pricing is better for you but if you dip below that you need to swap back to the basic pricing

I'm on advanced billing and based on my usage patterns, it shouldn't cost me more than $6-7/year. My main concern is it's a one man operation. The FAQ talks about it but I don't think anything has been put in place if the worst comes to pass.

Double edged sword that one, he seems really invested in what he created so it'll probably be OK. Then again, sometimes the bus driver doesn't see the red light
