Important restrictions

Self-host via Docker, binary or Kubernetes and supply your own compute. Emails are stored in memory and lost on restart; default accept-all SMTP and permissive test authentication are unsuitable for public production mail delivery. Retention and high-volume WebSocket queue limits require configuration.

Independent community listing, not affiliated with the provider. Always check the latest billing policy and quotas before enabling paid usage.
