Re: Looking for a commercial outgoing SMTP server for my domain

Is there anything you could recommend that's reasonably cheap and will
make me forget about problems with deliverability?

My ISP (Telstra, in Australia) used to allow sending mail through
their SMTP server (smtp.telstra.com) from their IP addresses. It
suddenly stopped working a year or two ago, now requiring an
account log-in (I'm not sure if it only now accepts mail "From:"
your Telstra account email address). Anyway before that it worked
as an alternative for when servers randomly blocked my mail server,
without needing to change the "From:" address (I added their server
to the SPF record). Optus in Australia also had an open SMTP server
which worked the same when I was with them (or actually a reseller).
Of course since it only worked from the ISP's own IPs, it might not
be suitable if you use different ISPs for home internet and mobile
data with a smartphone, or send mail from a work computer. But it
depends how your ISP has it set up. Worth checking anyway since
for me there was no extra cost for using it.

Otherwise, Migadu is an email provider I've heard mentioned a few
times recently, but I've never tried them:

Their Micro plan is $19/year. I'm not sure how that compares to
others.
