Which is the best SMTP server to send emails?

They told me to use some STMP server like SMTPmart or Mailgun because MyBB could overload my own email system. Is this true?

Personally I use googles (Gmail) SMTP for sending emails. But I know a number of people on this forum have used Brevo with much sucess

Are you using your normal Google password?

If so that’s you’re problem, you’ll need to set up an app password

When using Gmail, please make sure that:

  • You are using port 587 with TLS encryption. Other ports may be blocked from our end.
  • You have enabled 2FA on your Google account and have created an App Password to connect. Google doesn’t support using SMTP with your account password anymore.
  • You are sending email to a different email address than you are using to send email from. Otherwise, Google may decide they are not going to let you send email to yourself, and only store the message in the Sent folder, not in the Inbox.
