Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Not sure if you’re hosting on AWS (if yes, free for the first 62k/month), else the $0.10/1k/month shouldn’t be too bad - https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/
From my past experience with Sendgrid, it is trash, most of their shared IPs have poor reputation anyways, had lots of issues with them.
Running your own email server might be a good learning experience, a quick search brought up this all-in-one container solution - https://mailu.io/2.0/
Messing about with Postfix directly could be a painful experience, but yet another possibility.
Either way, new IPs will probably take some time to warm up, so don’t expect full deliverability for the first few days/weeks.
You should check that your cloud provider doesn’t block outgoing smtp traffic - iirc digital ocean and GCP do block.
