Description
We think it's too damn expensive to send email these days. We built Anypost on modern (non-cloudy) infrastructure to ensure we can offer a top-shelf product without having to hit you with the cloud tax. We're not looking to be the next unicorn. We just want a sustainable product that helps solopreneurs and high-volume senders get their message out without having to worry about the bill.We're around - feel free to ask questions!

Could you build this?
No Operating a commercial email delivery infrastructure involves severe IP reputation management, anti-abuse systems, ISP relationships, and high-throughput MTA operations.
What it would actually take: The core system requires high-throughput MTAs (like Postfix or custom Rust/Go SMTP daemons), DKIM/SPF/DMARC automated signing pipelines, and queue management with Redis/Kafka. The critical challenge is IP warm-up algorithms, bounce/complaint feedback loops with major mail providers (Gmail, Microsoft), and constant abuse detection to prevent IP blocklisting. It requires specialized email deliverability engineers and dedicated network operations personnel.
