SMTP provider that does not require configuring domain

linuxthefish

Hi,

I need to send emails from an unknown domain. With mandrill I could just put my email address and API key in with no problems, but since mandrill costs are stupidly high now I've got to change provider.

Sendgrid and mxroute both require configuring the domain before I can use SMTP details, are there any that don't?

Outbound spam filtering would be nice but not a must. This is for a cPanel server!

Did you check mailjet?

Do you mean something like this : http://www.mailchannels.com/

I am sure you can set mailchannels to deal with all your outgoing emails from CPanel/WHM without setting up each client's domain.

SendGrid makes you configure a domain, but you can send from other domains with your credentials.

jar

MailChannels

Did you check ColoCrossing?

If I remember correctly, SendGrid will allow you to do this. They will just sign with their DKIM just like Mandrill did.

I'd use MailChannels directly myself but too expensive for a small amount of emails.

For what it's worth I'm investigating the idea of selling MailChannels API keys, possibly with mail server management (basically give me access to shut down spammers without blocking your whole API key).

Off the top of my head was something like $20-$30/m.

What limitations would you put on them?

Interestingly, when this service might be available?

Mailjet will do that, however, one thing to note:

MJ Support: We can indeed do that, however the emails would be tagged with an email address you own as the sender for validation, and it may show in some email clients as being: "From [email protected] on behalf of [email protected]"

Thinking just emails sent, like 50k outbound. Not sure about tracking outbound by API key though.

I wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breath

Yep sendgrid works fine for this, thanks guys for the suggestions!

Turns out I forgot to check the "mail" access checkbox in credentials, and the "not allowed from" SMTP error message didn't mean much

All sorted.
