Use a different SMTP server:

  • SendGrid: A popular option with a free tier that allows you to send a large number of emails.
  • Mailgun: Another widely used email service provider with powerful API and SMTP capabilities.
  • Amazon SES (Simple Email Service): A cost-effective and reliable option for sending bulk emails.

Use a Flask extension for email sending:

  • Flask-Mail: Although it usually relies on an SMTP server, you can configure it to work with other SMTP providers like SendGrid, Mailgun, or Amazon SES.
  • Flask-Mailman: A maintained fork of Flask-Mail with similar configuration options.

Use an API-based email service:

  • SendGrid API: Send emails using SendGrid’s REST API.
  • Mailgun API: Use Mailgun’s RESTful API to send emails.
  • Amazon SES API: Send emails through Amazon’s SES API.
  • Postmark: A transactional email service with an API for sending emails.
