I’m building Reloop — an open-source email infrastructure built for developers who want to own their email stack instead of relying entirely on a third-party provider.
We started Reloop because sending an email is easy.
The hard part is everything around it:
Reliable transactional email
SPF, DKIM & DMARC
Deliverability & sender reputation
Bounce and complaint handling
Email logs & observability
Infrastructure you can actually control
With Reloop, you can self-host your email infrastructure and keep control of your data and infrastructure.
We’re also working on making the developer experience as simple as possible — straightforward APIs, clean docs, and tooling that makes email infrastructure less painful.
Reloop is open source, and we’re building it in public.
If you’re building a SaaS, API, or developer product and email is becoming a headache, I’d love to hear what you’re working on and what you’d want from an email infrastructure platform.
I did a quick deployment and noticed that the admin management console and the Credits service seem to be missing. Are there currently no plans to open-source these parts?
When you’re self-hosting the service, I don’t think the credit system makes much sense. Since the self-hosted version doesn’t need payments or billing, we’re planning to remove that entirely so anyone can self-host Reloop and use it without any limits.
Regarding the admin dashboard, I also don’t think it’s necessary for the self-hosted version right now. A self-hosted instance will typically have a single user/team, so there isn’t really a need to manage multiple users or roles.
So, for the self-hosted version, we’re keeping things simple: no credits, no billing, and no admin/user management.
