Hi all,
I am new to this platform, Can anyone help me set up KumoMTA to send emails, please?
I recommend starting here: Quickstart Tutorial - KumoMTA Docs
How do you send currently?
I am using API’s like sendgrid, aws etc
What monthly volume do you currently send at?
Currently, I am sending over 5k emails a month.
Personally I would suggest not going down this path at this time. There is a lot of deliverability related knowledge in using your own MTA, whether it be KumoMTA or any other MTA. If you don’t know deliverability there’s a high probability of ending up in the spam folder. At that sending volume your bill can’t be that high, so you’re not saving enough money compared to the potential damage you could cause yourself.
But I am looking to scale that, that’s the reason I was looking for an MTA and found this
What is your short-term expectation for the max scale?
Upto 4L plus in the coming 2 months
What is an L?
400000 emails a month
How many domains do you expect to send through? How many IP addresses?
I will use 4 to 6 domains with 5 IP addresses for each domain
Ok, even at that volume I’d say you’re not getting a good ROI on your time. I tell most senders to not look at moving to their own MTA until they send a million a month. You can’t hire deliverability skills for the $250 a month it would cost to send 400k through Sendgrid, and without those skills 400k a month is going to end you up in the spam folder.
