They still do have emails being that they serve many e-com setups. I do think Forums tools including Discourse are being allowed for new setups

I’m not certain what you mean by that, but that looks to not be part of the recommended standard install process, why don’t you use that?
### Recommended Email Providers for Discourse
We strongly recommend using a dedicated email service. Email server setup and maintenance is _very_ difficult even for experienced system administrators, and getting any part of the complex required email setup wrong means your email won't be delivered, or worse, delivered erratically.
The following are template configurations for email service providers known to work with Discourse.
_The pricing information is included as a courtesy, and may be out of date. Discourse does not control the pricing for external services, be sure to check with the email provider for up to date pricing information._
**Please note that in any email provider, you _must_ verify and use the subdomain, e.g. `discourse.example.com`. If you verify the domain only, e.g. `example.com`, mail will not be configured correctly.**
Enter these values when prompted by `./discourse-setup` per the [install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration). To change the current email service, run `./discourse-setup` as well (this will bring the forum offline for a few minutes while it gets rebuilt).

Don’t see daily limit posted at their site, you may need to contact their support team to verify that.
Brevo free plan has 300 emails/day limit.

For what it is worth, my forum was set up to use Mailgun several years ago, and it has just worked ever since, without skipping a beat. I don’t remember much about the setup process now, but I don’t believe it was very difficult. E-mail deliverability and reputation score has remained very high.
