I have a website that requires people to confirm their emails upon registration. My backend server is a node server. I am using nodemailer to deliver these confirmation emails.
For testing, I am currently using a gmail account to send these emails. And this is working perfectly.
Now however, I would like to upgrade and use my own domain email. And I would like to send out these emails under an email address like "no-reply#mydomain.com"
One of the requirements for my site is that it can handle sending up to 2000 confirmation emails in a day.
I have looked at email hosting like godaddy and it says that one email account with them allows only 250 emails a day, which is way less than 2000.
So, how can I achieve 2000 emails a day in the cheapest way possible? Any recommendations will be helpful.
Thank you in advance for helping me with my question.
I highly recommend GSuite by Google.
Once registered simply create a no-reply email (If I recall correctly, nodemailer needs the email to exist on the smtp server to work) and link it up. Good luck

I set up an Azure SendGrid resource in my company's Azure subscription, got my API key and wrote a C# script to send emails. It works, but the emails go to spam with an SCL=6. I expect this is because I am doing no domain authentication. (Please bear with me as I try to describe my situation, I'm still learning a lot about all this). I am sending the emails through my work/enterprise email account (XYZ#company.com) and they are going to other enterprise accounts on the same domain (company.com). My company is a large tech company with a very well known domain. I am just a user on the enterprise network as a normal vendor/employee, with this setup I don't know how I would touch DNS/SPF/DKIM options, which from what I've been reading are the main first steps to authenticate myself as the sender.
I guess my main question is: Can SendGrid be a possible solution to what I am trying to do? I want to send ~250 emails programatically, each from a template so I can substitute in recipient name and specific info, and I can do all that through C#. But is there a way I can authenticate myself so my emails do not go to spam? If not, are there alternative solutions? I'm just trying to avoid having to manually send ~250 customized template emails through Outlook.
Let me know if I need to provide more info, all answers are appreciated! Thank you!
I'm having an issue receiving the verification email from DocuSign that is needed to create an account under my master account to connect for use with API. The emails don't appear to be hitting my firewall, nor are they showing up in my email. Does anyone know if these emails are coming from docusign.com, docusign.net, or some other domain?
In Demo emails will come from dse_demo#docusign.net and in PROD it should come from dse#docusign.net. Also please check your Spam/Junk folder if it landing on these folder as per your email server policy.
As of a few weeks ago, I noticed that I am unable to receive emails from my domain account. My application is deployed to the azure server and it uses SendGrid to send emails and this happens from my application. For example my application is 'myapplication.com' and the azure sendgrid configuration for the mail server is set up to use 'Jake#myapplication.com' but when I send and email to my yahoo account, let say to reset my password. The email never makes it, not even going to spam. I remember reading something like this a few weeks back http://sendgrid.com/blog/update-yahoos-dmarc-policy "Yahoo New Policy" but I don't see how that would effect me since my from account is not a yahoo account. If there is no fix for this, what is an alternative email setup
Before considering an alternate email setup, contact SendGrid through support.sendgrid.com, it's possible that Yahoo is wrongly blocking your email. If this is the case SendGrid will advocate for you and work to get it unblocked.
Disclaimer: I am a SendGrid Employee
I'd suggest looking at the sendgrid dashboard and search for that email. You will be able to see exactly what happened.
it seems that Sendgrid IP pool is being deferred by yahoo. I am not sure what Sendgrid is planing to do to rectify this issue as it is impacting their clients who uses shared pool service
I have just stumbled on this issue. And it's not only Yahoo blocking sendgrid emails. They rather complaining about the senders ip address "Send Grid" rather than senders email address. :-(
I want to use node-mailer module to send emails to registering users on app for verification and other purposes also. I am not sure which transport mechanism to use so that emails I send are not a spam and also get delivered.
I also want to use the same domain to receive emails regarding support and bugs(i.e lets say on email on support#example.com). I am planning to set-up google apps account for this. Basically I will set-up the google apps account with me being an user and having an alias support#example.com. So can I also set-up an alias with say admin#example.com and send the emails using nodemailer from my app using this email address? But obviously I don't want to store my email id and password for google apps in the code for security reasons. So how Should I do it?
Other option is to Amazon SES, I believe its a good service and would be very useful. But can I use the same domain name for serving email from AMAZON SES and google apps also being able to host my app? So how to send emails from AMAZON SES by authenticating SPF and DKIM so that these emails reach the inbox of the user.
Saransh,
You absolutely can use the same domain and email address with both Google Apps and AmazonSES without any issues. When it comes to receiving emails, all messages have to be directed to a single server (your MX records). But sending email is very different in that you can send email from many different sources without any issues.
To ensure your messages don't go to the SPAM folder just be sure to properly authenticate all your messages with SPF and DKIM. I'm not sure how this works with AmazonSES, but it was really easy with the provider that I chose for my email http://socketlabs.com
I have signed up with Google Apps, I am using a third party SMTP Server to send the emails from the web app, Emails are reaching inbox for all the email clients (yahoo, gmail, hotmail...)
But Emails sent to my domain (mydomain.com) are reaching SPAM, This is happening only for my domain Which is google apps account domain. The solution to the problem is the sender must be in the contacts of the receiver. So its a overhead involved in adding the sender in the contacts before receiving the mail. This is not automated.
NOTE: Mails sent from <xyz#mydomain.com> to <abc#mydomain.com> are reaching SPAM. It means, Its happening only when the sender and receiver belongs to same domain.
ASSUMPTION: ALL the emails will be sent from mydomain.com .
So, I want to write a script using google apps script So that when a mail arrives from mydomain.com (having FROM address belongs to mydomain.com), The script must execute and add the senders emails address in the contacts. So it will avoid the spam rate.
I am very new to google apps script, Please help me doing this, Or if any better solution is there please feel free to post.
Vinay,
It sounds like you may have an incorrectly configured SPF record. Please see this article:
https://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=33786&topic=2759192&ctx=topic
Email that has a mydomain.com sender address, needs to come from a mail server listed in your SPF record or risk being sent to spam.
By chance, has Contact Sharing been enabled for your apps domain? I'm just offering this as an hunch that might help rather than a specific solution to your problem.
If this doesn't help, its a straightforward but non-trivial problem to add all your domain accounts to each others contacts list (and keeping it synced over time), but you'll be leaning heavily on a version of the Contacts API rather than plain Apps Script because the Contacts service only operates on the contacts of the user executing your script.
