Email provider for home server alerts (lemmy.ml)

Nextcloud, Qbittorrent, Truenas and loads of other svcs take optional email credentials for sending alerts and other features (eg. password recovery for nextcloud).

What email providers do people usually use to make this process simple to set up? For example, Microsoft doesn't allow basic auth anymore so it's supposedly not possible to use via most of these setups, and some other services seem like they have a low inbox size (does this matter?)

PurelyMail is what I use. It's been great so far. I've been using it for over a year for this exact use case.

I use MXRoute, which is a similar tiny/one-person email service. Also great so far. I use it for personal stuff + a client's professional business emails, and haven't had any issues with either.

Supporting small businesses like these feels great!

They rock.I'm sometimes afraid they will be bought or change terms.

Given it seems to be a single guy doing his thing I don't expect them to get bought out.

It's a great service and incredibly cheap. With advanced pricing I'm only paying ~0,40€ per month. My domain + purelymail is less than I'd pay for other providers email only.

Edit: If Amazon increases their prices they'll have to pass it on, but those should be pretty consistent. If you use your own domain (or an alias service) switching email providers is simple anyway.
