Important restrictions

Pre-1.0 software: reference backend and console are newer than the production SMTP/IMAP edges. Provide your own server, DNS, TLS, storage and mail deliverability; external relays and MailKite Cloud are separate and may cost money. AGPL-3.0 source-sharing obligations apply when modified software is offered over a network.

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