Could you build this?
No Transactional email platforms (like SendGrid or Postmark) require immense IP reputation management, anti-abuse systems, ISP relationships, and high-throughput MTAs that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable ESP requires deploying a custom or tuned Mail Transfer Agent (MTA like Haraka, Stalwart, or KumoMTA), handling automated bounce/complaint processing, TLS/DKIM/SPF/DMARC management, and dedicated IP warm-up engines. The hardest barriers are combating spammer abuse immediately upon launch and maintaining sender reputation with major mailbox providers (Gmail, Microsoft, Yahoo) to prevent bulk blacklisting. This demands deep specialized email infrastructure knowledge and dedicated 24/7 deliverability operations.
