aws ses, super cheap, fairly easy to setup. I just wish they had better or easier things like sendgrid has for analytics and troubleshooting. But i am paying pennies for my low sends.

I came to recommend AWS SES as well. I also use Google to handle my mail, but I use a catchall email address and Google does not support changing the From address of outbound mail. I've been extremely happy with SES, as it is easy to set up and so far as I know I've not had delivery issues.

Gmail? You can add sending from other address/SMTP in the settings

Yes. I use Thunderbird to browse the mail, but Gmail is the MX record.

Occasionally I do open a web browser to view the mail from there, so that might be useful. Thanks. But I still would have no way to alter the From header in the web interface.

In my experience a few email services refuse to accept emails from AWS SES, probably because a lot of automated emails are sent from AWS SES.
