Three reasons to leave SMTP.com.
Marketing automation
Workflows + AI, not just a relay.
Cheaper at scale
BYO AWS SES eliminates the per-email markup.
Modern API
Same SMTP plus a proper REST API + 7 SDKs.
Migration in 3 steps
Switch in under a day.
- 1 Swap the SMTP/API key
Update your environment variable. SDK signatures match — Node, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP supported.
- 2 Port DNS authentication
Add Mailazy SPF + DKIM records. Existing DMARC stays. Reputation transfers automatically.
- 3 Replay your last 24 hours
We mirror sends to both providers for one day. Confirm parity, then cut over completely.
Common migration questions
Is the SMTP relay drop-in compatible?
Yes. Mailazy SMTP credentials use the same submission ports (587, 465) and TLS authentication. Replace host + credentials in your config — nothing else changes.
Do I need to change my application code?
No. Any mailer library (PHPMailer, Nodemailer, etc.) connecting via SMTP works without code changes. Just swap the configuration.
Does Mailazy match SMTP.com's delivery speed?
Median time-to-inbox is under 5 seconds for transactional sends. Equivalent or faster than SMTP.com for the same routes.
Is there a REST API too?
Yes — Mailazy provides both SMTP and a proper REST API with SDKs in Node, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Java, and curl.
What about reputation monitoring?
Included in every Mailazy tier. SMTP.com's reputation monitoring requires a higher-tier plan.
