EU transactional email provider for product teams
Send password resets, receipts, magic links, order confirmations, alerts, and product notifications through an EU-operated email API. Postscale combines transactional sending, SMTP relay, inbound webhooks, masked addresses, DMARC reporting, and EU/EEA-hosted primary service data under one developer-first platform.
Transactional send
POST /v1/send
method: REST or SMTP
region: EU/EEA primary service data
What makes Postscale an EU transactional email provider?
Postscale is built for teams that need application email without routing their core email workflow through a US-first provider. Use it for transactional messages such as password resets, receipts, invoices, notifications, account alerts, and magic links. Primary production service data is hosted in the EU/EEA, with documented safeguards for limited operational metadata where required. For a transactional email provider EU shortlist, the practical checks are hosting posture, REST and SMTP coverage, webhook depth, and processor documentation.
Send with REST API or SMTP relay
Choose the integration path that matches your application. Both methods share Postscale delivery logs, suppressions, and webhook events.
REST API
Use REST when your application controls the sending logic. Trigger transactional email from your backend, attach metadata, and receive signed delivery events through webhooks.
REST sending docsSMTP relay
Use SMTP relay when migrating an existing app, framework, CMS, or legacy integration that already speaks SMTP. Swap the host, credentials, and sender domain while keeping the same delivery, logs, and webhook pipeline.

GDPR documentation
EU/EEA-hosted primary service data and GDPR documentation
Postscale is designed for teams that need an EU-operated email infrastructure partner and clear processor documentation. Primary production service data is hosted in the EU/EEA. A standard GDPR DPA and documented subprocessors help procurement, legal, and engineering teams evaluate the service without a long vendor-discovery cycle.

Looking for mailbox hosting? Postscale is not a Gmail, Outlook, Proton Mail, or Tuta replacement. Postscale is an EU-operated email provider for applications: transactional sending, SMTP relay, inbound email webhooks, masked addresses, and DMARC reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Is Postscale a mailbox provider like Gmail, Proton Mail, or Outlook?
No. Postscale is for application and transactional email: password resets, receipts, notifications, SMTP relay, inbound webhooks, masked addresses, and DMARC reporting. It is not a consumer mailbox or webmail product.
What does EU/EEA-hosted primary service data mean?
It means primary production service data is hosted in the EU/EEA. Some limited network, device, or operational metadata may be processed by infrastructure providers under appropriate safeguards, as documented in Postscale's policies.
Can I send through both REST API and SMTP?
Yes. REST is usually best when your application controls sending directly. SMTP relay is useful when migrating an existing system, framework, CMS, or legacy app that already supports SMTP.
What transactional emails can I send?
Common use cases include password resets, magic links, OTPs, order confirmations, receipts, invoices, account alerts, product notifications, and billing lifecycle emails.
Does Postscale replace my marketing newsletter tool?
No. Postscale focuses on transactional and product email workflows. Keep newsletter campaigns and marketing automation in a dedicated marketing platform if you need those features.
Can I migrate from SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Resend, Amazon SES, Brevo, or Mailjet?
Yes. Postscale provides comparison and migration content for major transactional email providers. Most migrations involve DNS authentication, API key changes, webhook mapping, and a staged cutover.
Start with transactional sending, then add the rest.
REST API, SMTP relay, inbound webhooks, masked addresses, and DMARC reporting are available under one Postscale account.
