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.

    MXroute. First, because Jar is stupid (hope someone will get the reference). Second, because they are awesome and cheap at the same time. You can go from full-fledged hosting with them to using them as relay, and for pizza money for a year.

      Are you using mxroute only for outbound (notifications/etc) mail, or are you using it for all of your incoming e-mail too?

        In some cases outbound only, in other cases inbound, too, with redirect somewhere else. I’m not using them to store emails right now.
