hey help me out with this query

[rare ridge]

i wanna add a mailing thingy to my web app but i dont wanna rely on third party apps can you tell me what are the possibilities i can look through to make it happen?

[prime sierra]

@rare ridge do you have a vps?

or is your server running on a linux machine in general?

[rare ridge]

nope

but i can get them if its needed

[rare ridge]

how should i proceed if i have vps?

[prime sierra]

well actually

where do you want to mail from and to?

[rare ridge]

i wanna handle mailing a bunch of customers without worrying about count

[prime sierra]

on linux it's sendmail to send mail, but if you won't be using an existing email address (e.g. if you want to set up email from your domain instead of gmail.com) you will need an email server too

[prime sierra]

oh you'd probably get most normal email accounts blocked if youre sending mass emails

[rare ridge]

lol im not spamming but i want a solution so that i dont get overcharged for running my workflows

[prime sierra]

i personally use porkbun's email service and sendmail

but porkbun email is $2 a month

some domain registrars offer email for free (you still have to buy the domain from them first though)

you might be able to send from gmail with sendmail

[rare ridge]

hmm can we attach the account to a web app and create automations to send mail everytime i submit a form to a bunch of ppl?

like how microsoft flow does?

[prime sierra]

idk, what do u use to creat automations

[rare ridge]

lets say i got a database with names and mailids i want to send mail everytime a person submit a form or click a specific button on my react app
