Generally, you don't use
SmtpClient. What all the companies I've worked for has done is buy "email as a service" from another company and send emails via an API
this solves issues like bouncing emails, scaling, blacklisted smtp servers, delivery status, retries, etcWhat would you reccomded ?
Well, what kinda scale do you need?
and are you willing to pay for it?
using gmail via smtp is fine for testing, and as you have an interface for
IEmailService you could easily create a SendgridEmailService or whateverI don't really Wana pay but in theory ha del like 1K emails per hour or more I'm not actually sending it anyone just Wana learn
1K emails per hour will get your account flagged/banned very quickly using gmail 😛
thats a huge amount of emails to be sending
and if you dont actually need to send any emails... dont?
I Wana know how Todo emails
I guess just buy a paid solution in real world then is what I'm getting
yeah
there are a TON of alternatives
sendgrid, mailgun, mailchimp, amazon SES, sparkpost, postmark...
Alternatives ?
Oh
yeah there are maaaaany companies offering email as a service
Ok thanks for info
