Recommendation for smtp server

[Lavis01]

I’m looking for the best SMTP server to send emails. Which one would be the most reliable and cost-effective for my business needs? Should I go with options like SMTPmart, Amazon SES, SMTPget or Postmark?

The best SMTP server for you will depend on your specific needs and priorities. Here are some factors to consider:

• Email volume: How many emails do you send per month?
• Budget: How much are you willing to spend on email sending?
• Technical expertise: How comfortable are you with setting up and managing an SMTP server?
• Deliverability: How important is it that your emails reach the inbox?
• Features: What kind of features are you looking for, such as email tracking, analytics, and automation?

If its transactional I'd say SES, mailgun, etc. I've used mailgun for years and have proven worth the cost, very useful to debug deliverability issues too.

Postmark has an absolutely fantastic activity feed feature and the limits are pretty good on their plans. I found SES to be a bit barebones (it didn't have a dashboard when I looked at it a few years ago) and Mailgun is what I switched to Postmark from, I think due to cost or something but also Postmark UI and API being so good.

We use Emailit which has smtp support but its made for APIs.
