Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about MTAInstalls
No, you don't send emails through MTAInstalls. We are an infrastructure deployment service, not an email service provider.
Here's how it works:
- We deploy Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) software like KumoMTA or Postfix on your cloud infrastructure
- You connect your applications, websites, or email systems directly to the MTAs we provision for you
- Your emails are sent through your own deployed infrastructure, not through MTAInstalls
- We manage the deployment, configuration, and monitoring of your email infrastructure
Think of us as your infrastructure deployment team, not your email service provider.
