For persistent, high-throughput traffic, Muti Metroo maintains long-lived connections and multiplexes multiple logical streams over a single peer link, each with independent flow c…

At this point, almost all new EmailEngine customers are AI startups. These are teams that know how to use LLMs well, which makes it interesting that they still opt for EmailEngine …

Thanks, and best of luck with Rustmailer! I believe there’s plenty of room for multiple solutions in this space.

EmailEngine author here. The commenter tried the EmailEngine trial back in 2024 and appears to have had a negative experience. Since then, he’s repeatedly criticized EmailEngine an…

I maintain the Nodemailer library. Several years ago I used my personal email in a few usage examples. Developers still copy that old snippet, add their SMTP credentials and send t…

I once flew to the US for a week on ESTA to attend a few meetings (pre-COVID), but I mostly just did my regular developer work in the US office. By today’s standards, would I have …

You can also get structured data out of mailboxes with my project EmailEngine. You can use an API request to fetch message contents, or you can configure EmailEngine to send a webh…

I renew my essential domain names in 10‑year increments. As long as I control the domain, I can spin up new mail hosting if any provider boots me. I’d lose the old messages stored …

For example, I once switched the license of Nodemailer from MIT to EUPL, with the option of still getting a MIT version if you paid for it. I had some paying customers, but it turn…

When I started with Nodemailer, my goal was to build a cool product—not to become an unpaid helpdesk employee for life. But here we are. So, I’ve been trying to monetize the projec…

You have less control over formatting and ad placement in the README file, as rendered markdown offers only limited options. With a dedicated documentation website, it’s much easie…

I had the exact same experience with Nodemailer, a popular open-source project I started 14 years ago. My solution was to empty the README file and set up a dedicated documentation…

Nodemailer author here. I now publish all my libraries/tools (like Nodemailer) under some permissive license (MIT, MIT-0, ISC). This gives the opportunity to use such a library wit…

The entire Nodemailer team is just 1 person, that’s me, so there is no one else for me to contact to.

It was a typo/mixup. Correct is AGPL, not LGPL as in the article.

I did not plan to make the project paid at first, I would have prefered the OS / Open Core model, but it did not work out. So what I meant about the feedback was that the feedback …

TBH, I get way better feedback from paying users than previously from free users. Free users like to tinker and think in terms of "what if," so they bring up all kinds of features …

You can't take the entire software commercial, as everything previously released under the open-source license will stay under that license. In the case of EmailEngine, all version…

I locked prices for existing customers. So someone who signed up 2 years ago is still paying 250€ per year, while customers signing up today will pay 895€ per year.

Well, I guess you're right in a way. While there are no meaningful outside commits in EmailEngine, there are _some_ commits, even if these have minimal impact, by people who do not…
