الآن يُبلغوننا بأن الخطط المجانية التي كانت مُمتدة لأولئك الذين استخدموها لن تكون متاحة بعد الآن. ويوصونني بالانتقال إلى خطة البداية التي تكلف 30 دولارًا أمريكيًا شهريًا، أي 360 دولارًا أمريكيًا سنويًا.
(…) سنقوم بإيقاف خططنا المجانية القديمة. في أو قبل 15 سبتمبر 2019، ستحتاج إلى تسجيل الدخول إلى حساب SparkPost الخاص بك لاختيار إحدى الخطط الحالية. بناءً على أنماط الإرسال الخاصة بك واستخدامك للميزات*، نوصي بخطة Starter التي تصل إلى 50 ألف رسالة. إذا لم تختَر أحد الخطط الحالية بحلول 15 سبتمبر، فسيتم نقلك تلقائيًا إلى خطة “اختبار” المجانية لدينا، بحد أقصى 500 رسالة شهريًا و100 رسالة يوميًا.
* ملاحظة: أرسل أقل من 6,000 رسالة أسبوعيًا!
أعتقد أن خطة Starter تشبه هجومًا مسلحًا أنا لا أستخدم أيًا من ميزات SparkPost، بل فقط ما يحتاجه Discourse لإرسال رسائل التسجيل أو الملخصات. ولا حتى أستخدم ميزة Discourse للرد عبر البريد الإلكتروني.
إذن… ما خدمة البريد الإلكتروني الأخرى التي يمكنك التوصية بها؟
I used Mailgun, which has a great free tier. If you do less than 10,000 emails you should be fine and integration worked well with my Discourse install. https://www.mailgun.com/pricing
I’m facing the same issue. The entry level Production tier cost is too high to justify staying.
Bear in mind though, you can share the quota across instances, so if you have several forums, all monetised …
Mass migration ensues! Lookout for related support posts
(Trouble is, if they are an efficient outfit with most of their costs scaling with volume I suspect they won’t care - they just want to turn all volume into cash)
I was still on one of their old 100,000 free emails/month plan and got the mail too. I can’t blame them for having to run a profitable business, but for me, Amazon SES is a more economical choice. I’ve been using it on my Discourse instance for over a year without any issues.
I figured people would want to use this post to compare alternatives to Sparkpost so I’ll mention that the only solution on the list of supported email services that’s able to compete with that is Elastic Email. It’s able to do 200,000 emails on $18 a month. I hope this is useful to users who want something with a premade config for Discourse but doesn’t cost a ton of money.
Small, low traffic sites aren’t likely to be sending 200,000 emails a month. Free tiers, either Elastic’s or Mailgun’s (which I recommended earlier) should suffice.
Excuse me @Owen_Walters, when you mentioned Elastic Email; which plan is the best to start with discourse? I saw in the pricing’s elastic email page that they offer… the “Email API”'s offer “Pay as you go” will work with discourse?
That’s actually a very good option for even moderately active sites, and still good for very low volume new sites, thanks for sharing.
Do they aggregate by all your sites - ie charge by account rather than domain? Can you then leverage your quota across several sites? (Which would essentially make adding a new site marginally zero cost).
SidV, what do you mean by that? SparkPost doesn’t specifically have Discourse Integration as such, but its SMTP interface permits Discourse to send emails? What is Elastic Email missing?
I really do not understand why Elastic Email Sales Support told me that. I asked them if they could buy any of their plans to use Discourse, and they responded again that there was no integration.
Now I’m still in conversation with another person.
Finally, Carlos from Elastic Email said:
Pay as you Go is definitely compatible with SMTP. You should have no problem using that plan. Just ensure to use the instructions in the article and the Discourselink you provided and everything should work correctly.
If there are any problems during setup please let us know and we’ll ensure to provide assistance to get everything working correctly. We highly appreciate your help with this.
Thanks for choosing Elastic Email!
I should try, but it seems that nobody here uses Elastic Email (?).
Just ask them if they still support SMTP, because that’s what Discourse uses. The guide I linked above shows how to use Elastic Email’s SMTP with Discourse.
