Ask HN: What service should I use to send email from my Node.js application?

None. Just use SMTP. Any email provider can handle thousands of emails without issues. Only if you need to send 60k newsletters at once are these emailing services useful.

Recommended it before in other threads, I'm a big fan of CloudMailin [0] -- they've got some great inbound and outbound services, generous free tier, very simple integrations, useful and reliable dashboard. I've used SES, SendGrid, MailGun, Hive, Klaviyo, etc, but at the end of the day had an overall easier, better, more enjoyable experience with the bare simplicity of CloudMailin.
