How to send server-generated admin emails
Hi there,
I've been running my own Mailcow mailserver instance just to receive server-generated admin e-mails from Logcheck, Cron-job output and the like. Since my provider (OVH) is now starting to charge for every IP address I'm looking for a different, ideally a zero-cost solution since it's just 10-20 emails per day.
Here's what I tried so far:
Smarthost MTA config on the servers to send all e-mail to a dedicated Gmail account (using the same email address as the destination). The problem: all e-mails are visible in the Sent folder, they won't show up in the Inbox (a de-clutter feature according to Google). Yeah, obviously a 2nd Gmail account would most likely solve this but I just don't like the idea.
Sending the server-generated e-mails to emailforwarding.net. This actually works nicely even on their free plan. Super simple & clean setup, I don't even need SMTP credentials. The problem: their MX servers do not support IPv6. Since I want to start using IPv6-only (virtual) servers that's not gonna work for me.
Any other ideas?

1 server for outgoing mail enabled and use Smarthost MTA config to send email over that.
If it is only 20 email / day smpt2go is free
Amazon SES will not charge you for such small amount of emails.
Thanks! Unfortunately, smtp2go is IPv4 only.
Thanks, this would be a feasible option, indeed. Unfortunately, none of the 10 regions or so I tried resolved with an AAAA record.
