[QUESTION] How do instances that use platforms such as Lemmy send verification, password reset, etc. e-mails? Do they use SMTP or some external service that provides an API? in c/[email protected]

@Asudox once I set it up *correctly* I didn't have problems yet

But big email providers like google like to not deliver emails if you do stuff wrong. I'm not self-hosting for my personal email stuff, but I didn't want to pay or put my email pw on my server, so I had no choice (i could've created a new email account, but i didn't want to put a 3rd party in the middle)

@Asudox my mastodon connects with smtp to a locally running sendmail which then forwards the messages signed with dkim
