Send your first email in minutes

One predictable REST API for single sends, batches of 1,000 and broadcasts to 100,000 recipients. No SDK required — if it can make an HTTPS request, it can send through KubeMail.

Signed, real-time webhooks

Every delivery, deferral, bounce, complaint, open and click is pushed to your endpoint the moment it happens, HMAC-signed so you can trust it.

Built to land in the inbox

Deliverability isn't a feature you bolt on. It comes from owning every hop between your API call and the recipient's mailbox.

Our own mail servers

Delivery runs on a KumoMTA fleet we operate ourselves — a Rust MTA built for millions of messages per hour, not a reseller relay.

Per-ISP traffic shaping

Connection limits, rates and backoff tuned per mailbox provider, so Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo each get exactly the pace they accept.

Dedicated, warmed IPs

Enterprise senders get their own IP addresses with clean reverse DNS, warmed gradually so your reputation is yours alone.

Aligned authentication

SPF, DKIM and DMARC align out of the box through a custom return-path — no edits to your root SPF record.

Blocklist and IP health

Sending IPs are checked continuously against major blocklists and scored on bounce and complaint rates.

Best practices by default

A plain-text part is generated for HTML-only mail and bounces, complaints and unsubscribes are suppressed automatically.

Under the hood

  1. Edge API

    Auth, validation and rate limits on 300+ edge locations

  2. Durable queues

    Your request returns in milliseconds; spikes are absorbed

  3. KumoMTA

    DKIM signing, ISP shaping, bounce classification

  4. Inbox

    Events stream back to logs, stats and webhooks

From the API call to the inbox, every hop runs on infrastructure we operate — so when something needs fixing, there's exactly one team to fix it.

How is KubeMail different from an email API?

An API only accepts your message. KubeMail also runs everything after that: the mail servers that deliver it, per-ISP traffic shaping, dedicated IPs, suppression handling, logs and analytics, a web dashboard with Compose, and a native iOS app — one platform and one bill.

How fast can I start sending?

Create an account, add your domain, paste four DNS records, and create an API key. Most teams send their first email in under five minutes — DNS propagation is usually the slowest part.

What makes KubeMail fast at scale?

The API runs on Cloudflare's edge and only queues your message, so requests return in milliseconds. Delivery is handled by KumoMTA, a Rust MTA running on bare metal with per-ISP connection and rate shaping.

Do I need to change my existing SPF record?

No. KubeMail uses a custom return-path (bounces.yourdomain.com) as a CNAME, which gives you SPF alignment without touching your root SPF record. You'll also publish a DKIM key and, ideally, a DMARC record.

What happens when I exceed my monthly quota?

Paid plans bill usage beyond the included volume as overage — $0.0008 per email on Pro. The Free plan includes 1,000 emails per month; you can upgrade at any time from the Billing page in your dashboard.

How do you handle bounces and complaints?

Hard bounces and spam complaints are added to your suppression list automatically and future sends to those addresses are dropped. Every event is also delivered to your webhooks and visible in the logs with a plain-English explanation of the SMTP code.

Can I get a dedicated IP?

Yes — Enterprise includes a dedicated IP, warmed gradually and monitored against major blocklists (Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS).
