SMTP Service

Modern deliverability for legacy apps

Your app speaks SMTP. Fine, keep it. Change three settings and your trusty old stack inherits the deliverability, telemetry and bounce handling of a modern platform — zero rewrites.

SMTP setup in two minutes
Setup

A two-minute setup

If your app can send SMTP, it's already integrated. Swap the host, paste your server token as both username and password, and mail starts flowing through our infrastructure before your coffee cools.

  • One host and three ports to pick from
  • STARTTLS encryption on every connection
  • Server-token credentials — no shared passwords
Follow the setup guide
Connection details

The whole config, five lines

These are the only settings your app needs. Everything else — authentication, queueing, retries — is our problem now.

SettingValue
Host smtp.postedapi.org
Ports 587 or 2525 (STARTTLS), 465 (SSL)
Username Your server token
Password Your server token
Auth LOGIN

Port 2525 is there for hosts that block 587. It happens more often than you'd think.

SMTP traffic through the same deliverability shield
Deliverability

The same great deliverability

SMTP traffic rides the exact same rails as our API. Same carefully vetted IPs, same sending speeds, same automatic bounce suppression — nothing about your mail gets second-class treatment just because it arrived over port 587.

  • The same vetted IPs as API traffic
  • The same delivery speeds, with no throttling
  • Automatic bounce suppression works over SMTP too
How we keep inbox placement high
SMTP, upgraded

Old protocol, modern plumbing

Works with anything

WordPress, Laravel, Rails Action Mailer, that cron job from 2014, any SMTP client at all. If it can open a socket, it can send through PostedApi.

Multiple credentials

Issue one SMTP credential per environment — staging, production, the throwaway test box — and revoke any of them in a single click.

SMTP telemetry

Every message lands in the dashboard: delivery time, provider response, opens and bounces — searchable for 45 days, included in every plan.

Give your SMTP stack an upgrade

Create your account, copy five settings into your app, and watch your delivery rates climb. Your code never has to know.
