emails are only allowed on the pro plan and up

Wait you mean I can use gmail smtp in env file?

what plan are you on?

Basic

Yea

railway doesnt allow emails on that plan

its to avoid spam

as they get their ips marked as abuse

and need to appeal them blah blah

But I am not using railway as smtp but I am using gmail smtp

I need to understand this very well

yes, they dont allow smtp at all on that plan

Still not getting it. Cause I am connecting to gmail’s smtp on their sever how is that an issue?

its not gmail

thye dont allow ANY smtp

in or out

Wow

its to prevent spam

i get tens of spam emails daily

all from gmail accounts

So do I have to use aws or they block that to?

you need to upgrade your plan to the pro plan

Damn this is bad

?

its

$20

$20 is a lot of money for small project

not rllly

uh

you can use resend maybe?

Resend not same as other mail servers?

it is

its just

not smtp

its "RESTful smtp"

I will check and see

Resend is extremely safe and well known. I use them and love it

Wait SMTP outbound is allowed on the pro plan?

Another +1 for Resend, they're great. They're also built on Railway, if I recall correctly.

They are!

For transparency, they are not.
