Overview
Postal is a complete mail delivery platform for websites and web servers. It does the job of SendGrid, Mailgun or Postmark, but you run it on your own servers, and it handles both outgoing and incoming email.
What it does well
Postal supports multiple organisations, each with their own mail servers and users. You send through SMTP or an HTTP API, get delivery events through webhooks, and see graphs, full message history, the live queue and complete logs. It signs mail with DKIM, checks your DNS setup for deliverability, keeps a suppression list, tracks opens and clicks, and has a development mode that holds messages instead of delivering them.
Why it’s in the collection
Postal gives developers who send a lot of transactional email a way to stop paying per message and see exactly what happens to each one. It's MIT-licensed.
