I'm afraid this will soon be abused by spammers & criminals around the world. I think having a free plan in the space of sending mail is a bad idea and puts paying customers at risk of being disrupted because your IP (-block) landed on someones blacklist.

OP's service, as far as I understand, is a MITM proxy. The send emails using your credentials, not theirs.
So it can still act as a proxy for stolen Gmail, Outlook credentials or brute forcing passwords?
Yeah, that's a good point. But I think, why would someone use this to send spam through an API? He'd need to add the SMTP server in our interface and that's just an extra step instead of writing a script that connects directly to e.g. Google's SMTP server.
