My hosting setup is . . peculiar: https://www.contraption.co/a-mini-data-center/
I welcome PRs to add additional sending providers - it wouldn't be onerous.
Of course, tech bros don't want you to do it, as it reduces their vendor lock-in.
Really I was just concerned about configuration overload from too many options. Seems like SMTP is worth splitting out, though.
Solution is:
* SMTP by default
* if you want, some setup examples of using third-party mail services using their SMTP endpoint (most offer one)

I myself have been building similar project called `Open Payment Host`[1] for couple of years now, but its focused on payments. Say a self-hosted alternative for Gumroad, Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi etc.
I know I'm going to get all-sorts of comments and recently had a terrible experience with a tech bro, so please go easy on me...
And if you answer, thanks in advance..
