Feature request: Add Werkmail as an SMTP relay preset
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Option Yes
Describe the solution you'd like
Summary
Please add Werkmail (https://werkmail.eu) to the list of SMTP relay presets in BillionMail's relay setup (Domain → SMTP Relay), alongside the existing AWS SES, SendGrid, and Mailgun options.
Context / why this is scoped as a relay, not a "native provider"
BillionMail is itself a full mail server (Postfix + Dovecot + Rspamd) — it doesn't have a "provider" abstraction the way Notifuse, SendPortal, or listmonk do. The only place an external ESP fits into BillionMail's architecture is as an SMTP relay, used when:
- Port 25 outbound is blocked by the hosting provider (a common cloud VPS restriction BillionMail's own docs call out), or
- A user wants better deliverability/reputation than a cold IP can provide
This is exactly the role AWS SES, SendGrid, and Mailgun already play in BillionMail's relay setup. Werkmail would slot into the same list.
Why Werkmail?
- Fully EU-hosted (Frankfurt / eu-central-1) — relevant for BillionMail users who specifically self-host for EU data residency and would otherwise be relaying through a US-based ESP anyway
- SMTP relay available (in addition to Werkmail's REST API, which isn't relevant here since BillionMail talks SMTP, not APIs, to its relay)
- DSGVO-oriented feature set (consent handling,
List-Unsubscribe) complements BillionMail's own DKIM/SPF/DMARC and unsubscribe tooling rather than duplicating it
Suggested implementation
- Add a "Werkmail" entry to the relay provider dropdown in Domain → SMTP Relay
- Pre-fill relay host/port/encryption fields (to be confirmed against current Werkmail SMTP documentation — this should be verified before implementation, since Werkmail's most clearly documented integration surface so far is its REST API rather than a published SMTP relay hostname)
- Standard relay credential fields: username/password (or API-key-as-password, depending on how Werkmail's SMTP auth works)
- No bounce webhook integration needed here — bounces via SMTP relay are typically returned as standard NDRs, which BillionMail already listens for on port 25
Additional notes
Full documentation:
This is a much smaller ask than "native provider" integrations in tools like SendPortal or listmonk, since BillionMail's relay concept is intentionally minimal (host/port/user/pass). Happy to help verify Werkmail's current SMTP relay documentation if that's the blocker.
Thank you for considering this!
