Features

Built for the receipts that have to ship.

Sub-second accept

SMTP ack in under 2 seconds at p95. Your worker thread doesn't block waiting on the relay.

Event pipeline you can read

Sends, opens, clicks, bounces, complaints — streamed to a dashboard built for actually debugging, not selling you on growth.

Reputation isolation

Per-user routing keeps a noisy sender's bounces from poisoning the shared IP pool. Watchdog flips them off the primary path before AWS notices.

And the obvious table-stakes

Developer-first APIs

REST mirrors SES SendRawEmail; SDKs for 10+ languages.

Multi-domain ready

Verify as many sending domains as you like on paid plans.

SOC 2 + GDPR

Type II audited. Data residency on request.

Idempotent retries

Replay-safe Message-ID. No duplicate sends from upstream timeouts.

Webhooks per event

Signed HMAC. Configurable per-type, retry with backoff.

Historical export

CSV out of the dashboard, no quota. Pull deliveries back to your warehouse.

    • Guided DKIM / SPF setup
    • Auto-poll until DNS clears

  2. 02

    Drop in creds

    Paste SMTP host + creds into the framework you already use. Or hit the REST endpoint with curl.

    • Postmark-shaped REST
    • Per-app API keys
