Partners, what mail server do you configure? Is there any recommendation?

I’m currently testing [Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/) - it’s about 4x cheaper than others I’ve seen here. So far it’s smooth sailing.

Hi, what is the cheapest mail service for discourse right now (as mid of 2018)?

I have found **[elasticemail.com](http://elasticemail.com)** for our small discourse installation, but they will always include your physical address at the bottom of the email content (it is stated in their policy) and that is what I want to avoid.

I, as an occasional administrator, don’t want to send my personal info to recipients. I’m looking for alternative solution here and planning to change the service provider. What is the cheapest service provider out there?

Any feedback about the email service provider is also welcomed.

Thanks.

Another downside to Elastic Email is that I have not yet figured out a way to get bounced emails to display in the Discourse dashboard.

This thread shows how to set it up for the other, recommended email providers:

> [@Configure VERP to handle bouncing e-mails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/handling-bouncing-e-mails/45343):

> Setting up bounces handling Discourse uses the [Variable envelope return path (VERP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_envelope_return_path) technique to handle bouncing e-mails. To enable VERP, set the “reply by email address” site setting with an email address template that uses the + sign. The default of replies+%{reply\_key}@discourse.example.com … works fine. If you are using your own or your company’s email server, then, that’s it tada Your discourse instance must be able to receive email sent to this address. This should work via POP, bu…

Not sure why Elastic Email is recommended but still no guide on how to set this up.
