It requires something called SMTP to send emails when running a WooCommerce shop. I've tried the SMTP feature in ProtonMail, as well as with Mailgun and Brevo so far, all of them work!
But I would like to know what devs or other more experienced shop owners would normally set things up?
The SMTP feature offered in Proton is a bridge (on both incoming and outgoing from their systems) - it doesn't have all the security/privacy guarantees that their clients have when you would send proton->proton.
Depending on what you are doing, and what kind of privacy you desire, it's probably still one of the more useful endpoints.
All I'm using it for is to let people know the order is being processed, or simple follow up, nothing complicated.
What I'm looking for is something simple to configure, or at least learnable for a non-tech person, or good tools that don't ask for too much information (both Mailgun and Brevo asked for a number to verify), and ideally I own all the data. 👀
In this age of centralized email services, self-hosted email itself is not simple to configure yourself. Even Amazon SES (kind of became the gold standard for sending out automated email this past decade) is complicated to configure, gated and so on.
With Proton at least you get to have some GDPR-style protection of "forget me" and "gimme my data". It's not a poor choice.
If we wanna stay in the bitcoin-sphere, maybe we can check out how
lnemailintegrates though!just did a tested with lnemail, wow, really cool, but how can this beintegrated with SMTP?
Would need to make a plugin that implements their API.
plenty of plugins, this is one #1531673
Does it implement
lnemail's REST API? Because that's not in your screenshot.Oh ok, you are right, it's compolicated to use lnmail for this case.
@Natalia evaluate these options too:
Image if also being able to link personal domains to lnemail...
That kind of defeats the "anonymous" part of this service, but yes. Maybe this is a good trigger for someone to create a service for that, which doesn't focus on anonymity as much (but keeps the per-mail cost.)
I mean linking the domain that you own and purchased by sats, still anonymous:)
Contact their support and ask if they provide SMTP credentials and under which port (usually 465), TLS, SSL or not, and other setups
LNmail is great, we are also exploring https://nostrmail.org and https://nostr-mail.com
for example?

I tried nostrmail the other day!
And I just did a test sending mail from nostrmail to lnemail, the mail arrived instantly. 😳
Have you tried WP Mail SMTP plugin? It offers plenty of integrations and has useful reporting.
I was using this when I was using ProtonMail. 👀
