The absolute worst with hosting your own email lists / transactional emails is that you need to be very up to date on the status of your IPs and domains in various blocklists, and it's very easy to get blocked from them.
I don't see anything mentioned about this, nor other similar issues, either on the website or in the GitHub repository.
Are you offering some functionality that help people manage this, or how do you suggest people approach this "when not if" problem?
- slig 3y agoLooks like they currently support sending emails through SendGrid https://docs.dittofeed.com/integrations/channels/sendgrid https://docs.dittofeed.com/integrations/channels/sendgrid
- rexreed 3y agoSendgrid's deliverability and reliability is starting to tank. Looking to get off Sendgrid myself.
- maxthegeek1 3y agoWhat alternatives are you looking at?
- concordance 3y agoSupport for Resend (https://resend.com/ https://resend.com/) would be appreciated!
- maxthegeek1 3y agoGreat idea :)
- zenorocha 3y agoResend founder here. Nice to see a self-hosted alternative for Mailchimp in the world. Would love to see support for Resend on Dittofeed :)
- maxthegeek1 3y agoHey, love what you guys have done with React Email <3
- rexreed 3y agoSince the application for Dittofeed is similar to Mailchimp, which would be newsletters mostly and not transactional email, is that compatible with your primary business case at Resend? From what I can tell, Resend is mostly focused on transactional email and not on mass email messages such as newsletters, which is what I see as what Dittofeed is sharing with their Mailchimp alternative. If you're open to newsletters, let me know, and I'll give it a switch from Sendgrid!
- zenorocha 3y agoWe're definitely open to newsletters :)
- jszymborski 3y agoA great self-hosted pairing might be Postal https://github.com/postalserver/postal https://github.com/postalserver/postal
- nathancahill 3y agoIt's been slowly tanking for a decade at least.
- edoceo 3y agoMaybe https://postmarkapp.com/ https://postmarkapp.com/ ?
- turnsout 3y agoI used Sendgrid as part of a RocketChat install in 2021, and the deliverability was atrocious. I vowed to never use it again, but haven’t explored alternatives recently. What options are you looking at?
- maxthegeek1 3y agoHello! We're not an email service provider ourselves (where one would normally configure email domain/ip settings), but we allow users integrate their own ESP accounts. We currently support sendgrid, and in the near term future we plan to support AWS SES.
- capableweb 3y agoI see! I understand you're not a email service provider, but "self-hosted" gave me the impression you actually handle sending the emails (via SMTP or whatever) as well as the management around the lists, not just outsourcing the email sending part to a hosted 3rd party. Seems I was mistaken :)
- maxthegeek1 3y agoWe plan to support plain SMTP as well, so that users can be self hosted end to end if they want.
- howmayiannoyyou 3y agoMailgun support would be appreciated.
- maxthegeek1 3y agoGreat idea!
