Every once in a while, somebody asks me what email relay services are available for developers to implement either SMTP relay or API-based email sending for the various email needs related to their cool new SaaS platform. What should they plug in to use to send emails? Though I do run my own MTA, not everybody wants to do that, especially if it’s not the core focus of the business or in a person’s area of core competency.
And there are so many of these platforms that I don’t think I can really do justice as far as reviewing them. I’ve used only a handful of them, myself. And just because I haven’t tried a platform, or haven’t had any clients with experience sending emails on it, doesn’t mean it’s bad.
Want to learn more? You can search for just about any one of those on Google and find more information.
Keep in mind that this is meant to be a short list of providers that offer an email relay or email API service; this is different from the core email service provider or newsletter platform offering. These are for developers to send emails programmatically, typically transactional email messages. This is different from designing your email in a WYSIWYG email editor and uploading a list of people to launch a marketing campaign to them. That’s much more of a core email service provider offering.
