Who can suggest an ethical SMTP provider for low volume transactional mail? I’m willing to pay up to 2€/month for a few hundred mails per month.
What’s “ethical”?
I bet op is one of those hippies that doesn’t like their SMTP tested on animals
Mostly that they respect the privacy of my users and that they don’t have shady business practices that want to push you towards an over-expensive paid tier.
I don’t know what you mean by “ethical”, but I use Sendgrid. They have a free tier that can send up to 100 emails a day.
EU servers might be worth something to some people, depending on where they are in the world. And while 190% is indeed “way more expensive”, relatively speaking, it’s still “well under” your goal of EUR 2 per month.
SMTP2GO - 1000 free emails a month, 200 emails a per day.
You could use some containerized mail server like Mailcow. They’re pretty alright to set up and should work fine for low volume. At least in my experience. Unless you don’t want to deal with mail yourself, then you should maybe consider a paid service. But I don’t have any experience with those.
