Is it a product made by employees of EmailEngine or how does it work ? Intuitively I would find it super rude if commercial companies just ignore or send people away for open-source tooling that is directly used for their commercial product. Like when there are Google APIs Python Client bugs and they don't care and just say "no clue, ask someone else at Google"

Nodemailer is a project I started 11+ years ago with no backing. It gets millions of download every week and is used by hundreds of thousand of projects and developers around the world. EmailEngine is a commercial project I started a year ago and now I use the Nodemailer’s homepage to drive traffic to it. Both are my solo projects, no one else is involved.

  Understood. Your projects are so well done that they gave me the impression that EmailEngine was a VC-backed opportunistic/shark startup that had eaten an open-source project and enslaved its maintainer. So that's a big compliment I guess :)
