Hello Inbox▲283Hey HN, I built an email deliverability SaaS with a RAG system. It's trained on all my knowledge and hundreds of real deliverability use cases from 4+ years experience as an Email Deliverability Specialist on Upwork. It solves a frustration problem a lot of businesses are experiencing. I'm looking for feedback so let me know in the comments.

I've spent the last few months working on something I wish I'd had years ago. I kept running into the same issue: CI green, production mail broken. TLS handshake failures, DKIM alignment mismatches, SPF soft-fails ... the stuff that only surfaces when real mail servers are involved. Most test tools (Mailpit, MailHog) are catch-alls. They confirm "an email was sent" but don't validate the protocol. They also aren't designed for network-exposed environments: no auth, unprotected Web UI, easy to enumerate messages. VaultSandbox is my attempt at fixing that. It's a self-hosted SMTP gateway…

This is a side project of mine. Use this as your SMTP server in a test environment to guarantee that your users don't receive test emails. Looking for feedback, especially on the security side.

Hi HN :) really excited to share this with you. The one thing AI reliably does is generate noise. Half the tools I see launch are just machines for producing more noise across more channels. And people are starting to see this in the form of emails in their inboxes as spam filters are struggling. There used to be a useful signal in email: the effort a sender put into customizing a message was a rough proxy for how relevant it actually was. AI killed that. Now it's customized slop with the appearance of effort with none of the cost. It is painful that the open internet / open channels…

Hi HN, Two months ago, we launched MailFrom.dev, a fake SMTP server for developers who want to test email sending without hitting real inboxes – think of it like a simpler, cheaper alternative to Mailtrap or Mailhog with a focus on ease of use. Since then: - We’ve had 55 developers sign up with 4 paid subscription active and 821 test emails sent - Improved stability, speed, and small features our early users needed - Worked hard to add roles (wich will be released later next week) What's improved: - Better UI to inspect headers, bodies, and attachments - Faster inbox refresh and sync between…
