You can use Postal to build and run your own full-featured email delivery server for web applications. It handles both outgoing transactional messages and incoming mail processing without relying on expensive third-party mail providers. You can route outgoing messages through multiple IP pools, monitor delivery rates, inspect message logs, and track bounces or spam complaints. Postal also includes HTTP APIs and webhooks so your web services can trigger messages, receive inbound emails directly, and verify domain authentication settings using SPF and DKIM records easily.
