a good smtp mail api for sending emails does

We don't use either of these company's APIs anymore since we're doing our own outbound SMTP, but we've used both - https://elasticemail.com/email-api-pricing - https://smtp.com We moved from SMTP.com to Elastic because it was considerably less expensive. SMTP.com's TOS is stupid: they require a…

…original thought is that in a reasonable sized production environment, you would probably have a few systems running SMTP.COM and a few running MAILDB.COM, a few running IMAP.COM and a few running NAMED.COM. You might have a few more running SPAMD, more for AV, perhaps some more with your mail…

protonbridge smtp and symfony

Don't abuse ProtonMail for spamming. If you want to spam folks, use dedicated spam services - such as sendgrid, mailjet, [smtp.com](https://smtp.com), Sendinblue, etc, etc. There's a ton of these services who does the spamming in the proper ways.

uptick in spoofed emails

Yea we disabled direct send and that broke copiers from being able to scan using [SMTP.com](http://SMTP.com) as the relay. Well the scans are going out but Microsoft it rejecting them. On the brightside, spam has stopped.

I think it could have been from SMTP.com but I don't know how a spoofed mail ended up in my inbox instead of the spam folder and didn't warn me about it not being from the original sender. http://i.imgur.com/Y7w8bJX.png

email newsletters are getting sneaky

"Good ones" these days straddle several ESPs. Send the shit through smtp.com or some other spam cannon..let it all bounce. Send everything else through a reputable ESP. Tons of other tricks and gotchas along the way. Spammers are smart.

wordpress messages not sending to my email

So what I did was exactly what you said - instead of using SMTP.COM option I used the Other SMTP option. I put all the info in, at first it didn't work - the suggested SMTP port was wrong. But I changed it and changed the security info to SSL rather than TLS. That was the final step. I was so glad…

My recommendation for this is to get a transactional SMTP service from smtp.com or sendgrid.com. They work with all spam filters and such to help provide a much more reliable delivery service. Also prevents your VPS ip from getting blacklisted. That being said things like SPF, PTR and manual…

We used smtp.com for our self-hosted clients back in the day. It's an inexpensive mail relay service that 1. Solves the "your IP looks scammy, I'm not routing your mail" issues 2. Caches emails if your server is offline for any reason 3. Is cheeap 4. Was crazy reliable
