Looks like they currently support sending emails through SendGrid https://docs.dittofeed.com/integrations/channels/sendgrid

Sendgrid's deliverability and reliability is starting to tank. Looking to get off Sendgrid myself.

Maybe https://postmarkapp.com/ ?

What alternatives are you looking at?

Support for Resend ( https://resend.com/ ) would be appreciated!

Resend founder here. Nice to see a self-hosted alternative for Mailchimp in the world. Would love to see support for Resend on Dittofeed :)

This is super awesome to see open source - I wonder if there's some value in email flows for self-hosted software as well. I'm thinking if someone self-hosts a complex OSS app like Dittofeed (or even HyperDX ;) ) - would it be beneficial to allow admins to enable email onboarding flows like they get in the SaaS side of things, so end-users can be drip-fed product docs appropriately (and even customize it themselves i…

Hey, great idea! We should probably make our internal onboarding journeys public like you’re suggesting so that self hosting users can benefit from them :)

Nice, I built an internal tool like this once. Love what you've got here. IME the next priority is supporting alternate providers to SG (and I see from the thread it's on your roadmap).

Another option for the SMTP part is using an upstream mail provider perhaps https://mxroute.com/ works for folks.

Oddly, I've had pretty good success with sending from my own Postfix+OpenDKIM based infrastructure for many years (in Linode). I suppose it's mostly because my volume from that box and those domains is so low and is primarily transactional rather than news-letter like things (I send service announcements maybe quarterly). I mentioned it elsewhere in thread but I like Postmark for those newsletter & drip-campaign stuff.

I 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?

Since 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!

A great self-hosted pairing might be Postal https://github.com/postalserver/postal
