    Hi all! Excited to share cc.dev after months of work and refinement. The idea for this product came from trying to do email marketing for my side project, CubeDesk, a site where Rubik's Cube enthusiasts can time themselves, race with one another, train algorithms — it's a fun niche! With over 40k users, sending even a single campaign was becoming expensive with MailChimp. I knew AWS SES would be much cheaper, but it’s just an API with none of the other necessities you need for a robust email marketing platform. Beyond cost, I was also frustrated with having to make sure my database was…

    Hi all! I'm Kristyna, maker of Sidemail. I'd love to share with you what we've been building. We built Sidemail because sending emails from a SaaS app was way harder than it should be. Sidemail is made for developers and teams that want one simple place to handle SaaS emails with reliable delivery and no bloat. It has: - Everything for creating, managing and delivering SaaS emails in one platform, - Easy-to-use email API for sending password resets, receipts, etc. - Messenger for writing product updates and newsletters, - Email automations for onboarding and lifecycle flows, - Fast email…

    Hey HN! I've been working on Inbound (inbound.new) - an email system that lets you programmatically manage email addresses and route them to AI agents, webhooks, or forward them anywhere. The core idea: instead of manually managing email addresses, you create them on-demand via API and route incoming emails to your AI agents or other automated systems. For AI Agents: Create [email protected] and emails get sent to your AI agent as webhooks. Your agent can reply using our SDK. Perfect for AI customer support or automated responses. For Email Forwarding: Set up [email protected] to…

    Hey HN, I'm Jarod. Spent 2 years at SendGrid watching developers struggle with email infrastructure. Built Wraps to fix the SES setup problem. One command or package (CDK & Pulumi) deploys production email infra to your AWS account: `npx @wraps.dev/cli email init` ~30 seconds to configure SES, DKIM/SPF, event tracking, and sandbox exit. You own everything—we just provide the tooling. Key decisions: - BYOC: Deploys to your AWS, you pay AWS directly for sending - Zero credentials stored: OIDC federation only - Open source CLI/SDK: MIT licensed, free forever - No lock-in: Send…

    Introducing Posthorn, a self hosted email gateway. One docker container (or Go binary) between every self hosted app on your VPS and your transactional email provider. Set up Posthorn once, point your apps to it, done. I was trying to deploy Ghost on a DigitalOcean droplet and found that DO and many different VPS services have started to block the default SMTP ports to try to combat the various types of abuse they get. To actually configure my app, I had to hack together a Postfix relay. In another project, I had a static site which had a contact form, but my free Formspree account was…

    Here's my first (hopefully of many) open source release. A minimal script to receive emails via SMTP, parse content (including headers), store attachments in Amazon S3, and forward email content to a webhook. I use it to power DMARC report storage and email content testing. Some of the big email API providers have inbound APIs but costs can rack up fast if you're using them at scale. Hence why I built this. https://github.com/sendbetter/inbound-email Features - SMTP server to receive emails concurrently - Parses incoming emails using mailparser - Uploads attachments to…

    Hi HN, I host my own mail infrastructure and don't rely on third-party tools to send my mails. But in a microservice architecture, managing all the SMTP configs quickly becomes tiresome. After a while I'd always have my credentials and settings scattered in application-properties, bash scripts and environment files. So I've build Brieferl, an app where you can add your SMTP servers and send emails through a single API with a simple JSON payload. You also get logs of when/where emails were sent and HTML previews of messages. I am interested in what you guys think about this. You can…
