The absolute worst with hosting your own email lists / transactional emails is that you need to be very up to date on the status of your IPs and domains in various blocklists, and it's very easy to get blocked from them.

I don't see anything mentioned about this, nor other similar issues, either on the website or in the GitHub repository.

Are you offering some functionality that help people manage this, or how do you suggest people approach this "when not if" problem?

Hello! We're not an email service provider ourselves (where one would normally configure email domain/ip settings), but we allow users integrate their own ESP accounts. We currently support sendgrid, and in the near term future we plan to support AWS SES.

I see! I understand you're not a email service provider, but "self-hosted" gave me the impression you actually handle sending the emails (via SMTP or whatever) as well as the management around the lists, not just outsourcing the email sending part to a hosted 3rd party. Seems I was mistaken :)

[maxthegeek1]

We plan to support plain SMTP as well, so that users can be self hosted end to end if they want.

Looks like they currently support sending emails through SendGrid https://docs.dittofeed.com/integrations/channels/sendgrid

Sendgrid's deliverability and reliability is starting to tank. Looking to get off Sendgrid myself.

Maybe https://postmarkapp.com/ ?

I used Sendgrid as part of a RocketChat install in 2021, and the deliverability was atrocious. I vowed to never use it again, but haven’t explored alternatives recently. What options are you looking at?

It's been slowly tanking for a decade at least.

What alternatives are you looking at?

Support for Resend (https://resend.com/) would be appreciated!

Resend founder here. Nice to see a self-hosted alternative for Mailchimp in the world. Would love to see support for Resend on Dittofeed :)

Since the application for Dittofeed is similar to Mailchimp, which would be newsletters mostly and not transactional email, is that compatible with your primary business case at Resend? From what I can tell, Resend is mostly focused on transactional email and not on mass email messages such as newsletters, which is what I see as what Dittofeed is sharing with their Mailchimp alternative. If you're open to newsletters, let me know, and I'll give it a switch from Sendgrid!

A great self-hosted pairing might be Postal https://github.com/postalserver/postal
