    Eight years ago, I was job hunting and felt embarrassed by my Gmail address. I tried registering firstname.lastname — taken everywhere. So I thought: "I'm in IT, I'll set up my own domain with my own IMAP/SMTP. How hard could it be?" A lot went wrong. Forgotten renewals. rocky DNS mistakes. I ended migrating toward Google Workspace, but in the end it felt overkill, having a subscription there plus the whole registrar subscription, and the whole GAFAM sticker on it. Moreover, the final price was way too high for me at the time. Six months ago, someone approached me and related to that…

    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…

    ServiceBeard is an open-source sync tool which polls your IMAP server for new mail and creates new issues on your repo/project, or posts comments if it's a reply to an existing thread. In the other direction, any comments on the issue triggers an outgoing email to the customer (using your SMTP server). The obvious use-case is setting up a service desk using existing infrastructure, but I'm curious to see what other use-cases come up. I'm Joram, the solo developer who built ServiceBeard. My team was managing a shared mailbox by using coloured labels and read/unread statuses just to…

    Built this after getting frustrated with the paying to a google for email. Now running it for 1 months in production. What it does: - Full SMTP server (inbound/outbound, DKIM signing, SPF/DMARC checking) - IMAP with IDLE support - CalDAV/CardDAV (replace Google Calendar/Contacts) - Web admin panel with Prometheus metrics - Greylisting for spam prevention - Auto-discovery (mail clients configure themselves) - Audit logging for compliance What it doesn't do: - Webmail (use Roundcube, etc.) - ML-based spam filtering (greylisting + basic heuristics only) - Clustering/HA

    I've always had the need to quickly just setup an email service for all the different projects and communities that I run, so I built KaiMail to do that. I can't stand the fact that getting emails for your domains can be so difficult compared to setting up a static website. If you're running an open-source project or an open-source community, I'm happy to get you an upgrade at no cost.

    Spent the last month building Fertit - basically a newsletter manager but you bring your own SMTP and skip the DevOps nightmare. All the features (subscriber management, admin dashboard, custom preferences) without the infrastructure markup. The math that broke me: Mailchimp: $230/month for 15k contacts My solution: $10/month infrastructure + $10 SendGrid = unlimited What I learned: The "enterprise" features are mostly database operations with SMTP APIs. But the 3 weeks of Go/PostgreSQL/Redis setup explains why people just pay ConvertKit $300/month. Here's the thing:…
