In today’s world, spam is a huge issue and having a reliable email provider that adequately filters out spam is crucial for your sanity. This however also creates the need for what are knows as “SMTP” services which use authentication to ensure the delivery of mail form your website. It is crucial for ecommerce website and online stores to have reliable email that is automatically generated from the website, such as purchase receipts and password reset notices. Without an SMTP service, these auto-generated emails often end up getting blocked by spam filters.
