SMTP service

All deployed services include a basic smtp service preconfigured. It's also used to send alerts notifications about your service.

 

It's free, but it comes with few limitations:

-

  • You can send only transactional emails, no marketing emails are permitted. Any violation will lead to a suspension or termination of your service.

-

You can send up to 300 transactional emails per hour, thats up to 7200 emails per day.

-

All emails must be sent from [domain]@vm.elestio.app where [domain] is the url of your service. Trying to send from any other email address will be rejected.

-

The smtp service is available only from the global private network ip of your VM.

 

Of course in several cases you will want to change the smtp configuration in the web UI of your software to use another smtp service. It's useful if you want to be able to configure another sender address or to overcome any limitations stated above.

 

We recommend this list of smtp providers:

-

  • AWS SES

-

SendInBlue SendInBlueMailgun

Sendgrid Mailgun
