I have some news to share, and I wanted to give you plenty of advance notice: Sendamatic will be shutting down on October 1, 2026.
A bit of background: Sendamatic started life as the internal email delivery system for Blogtrottr and some other side projects. A few years ago I spun it out as a standalone product, thinking other people might find it useful too - and some of you have been using it ever since. Thank you for that.
The honest reason: between hosting and infrastructure costs rising sharply over the past year and the amount of ongoing attention it needs, Sendamatic has become the hardest project to justify against everything else on my plate. Rather than let it limp along, or try to pivot it into something else, I'd rather wind it down properly as a customer-facing service and let it go back to its original purpose, quietly doing what it does best: sending mail for the projects it originally supported.
What this means for you
- On October 1, 2026, all accounts and user data will be permanently deleted.
- Any outstanding balance will be billed at the time your account is deleted.
- Please use this window to migrate to another SMTP provider. If you're not sure where to start, Buttondown maintains a handy comparison of providers and pricing that's worth a look.
If you have any questions, reach out anytime at [email protected] - I'll be reading and responding personally.
Thanks again for trusting Sendamatic with your email delivery. It's been a pleasure building this for you.
