Several of my self hosted services need to be able to send minor occasional emails for things like changing passwords or other notifications.
I’ve never been interested in the hassle of self-hosting my personal email, since I’ve heard about it being difficult. But for my little local services to have one admin@ or noreply@ to send from, with just a small handful of friends and family as users, maybe it’s simpler than a full personal email replacement would be? I’m not too concerned, for example, if they have to check their spam folders. As long as the email still lands.
What are you using for this type of thing? Hoping to have something not too complicated, and FOSS.
I verified my domain with Proton and I can send mails from my domain through their servers and pass all sender verification and reputation tests. This works without needing to control a public IP in a range that is allowed to send mail to the common mail services.
Hello,
Can you detail how you’re sending the emails? Where you have to configure the Proton credentials?
It’s somewhere in the settings on the web interface, you can set up SMTP credentials for any of the email addresses you’ve set up in Proton there. Maybe you’ll find it on your own already, but I could look it up exactly once I’m on the PC later

Yup that’s it, you were quicker than me, thanks!
Since proton does not support IMAP, you can only send it through the browser or their official clients
That’s wrong, you can set up sending via SMTP pretty easily. And they also have an IMAP bridge app to access your mailbox through other clients like Thunderbird.
There also the Proton Bridge which could be an option, but haven’t used is myself. That’s why I am curios on the setup. 😁
