SMTP providers

SMTP providers are third-party services whose integrations expose the smtp type. Use this group when you want an outbound email provider connected to Wodby services that need to send mail.

Machine name: smtp

Use an SMTP provider when:

  • an app or mail service needs a relay for outbound email
  • you want SMTP credentials to be reusable instead of configured manually per service
  • you want provider-managed mail delivery outside the application itself

Where it is used in Wodby

SMTP provider integrations are used for:

  • SMTP-capable app services such as OpenSMTPD
  • stacks or services that need a provider-backed mail relay
  • reusable outbound mail configuration shared across apps

Supported providers

Provider Mail product
Amazon Web Services SES
Brevo Brevo SMTP
Cloudflare Email Service (beta)
Mailgun Mailgun SMTP
Postmark Postmark transactional SMTP
Resend Resend SMTP
SendGrid Twilio SendGrid SMTP
Custom SMTP Any standards-compatible SMTP relay

For AWS SES, enter a raw IAM access key pair. Wodby derives the region-specific SMTP password at runtime. Existing AWS integrations that store legacy SES SMTP credentials remain supported; see Amazon Web Services.

Use Custom SMTP when the relay is not represented by a provider-specific integration. It supports mandatory STARTTLS and implicit TLS and can be attached directly to OpenSMTPD.

Brevo and Mailgun use SMTP credentials that are separate from their API credentials. Postmark, Resend, SendGrid, and Cloudflare reuse an API token or key for SMTP authentication. Cloudflare is the exception to the normal relay defaults: it uses implicit TLS on port 465; the other built-in presets use STARTTLS on port 587 unless their provider page states otherwise.
