Send Astro mail through SecureSMTP

Set up in under five minutes

Same flow for every integration: account → credentials → paste into Astro → test send.

1. 1

   Create a free SecureSMTP account

   Sign up at securessmtp.com/signup. Free tier covers 100 emails/month — no card required.

2. 2

   Create an API key

   Dashboard → Settings → API keys → Create. Store it in your environment (e.g. SECURESMTP_API_KEY in .env). Never commit it.

3. 3

   Install or import the SDK

   npm install @securessmtp/sdk · use in Astro API routes (server-only).

4. 4

   Make your first send

   Copy the snippet below into a server-side endpoint or background job. Replace the to/subject/html with your own values.

5. 5

   Test, then ship

   Trigger your endpoint in dev. Check the dashboard activity feed to confirm the send. Ship to prod — same code, no config swap.

// src/pages/api/contact.ts
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro';

export const POST: APIRoute = async ({ request }) => {
  const data = await request.json();
  await fetch('https://api.securessmtp.com/v1/mail/send', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${import.meta.env.SECURESMTP_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      from: 'site@yourdomain.com', to: 'you@yourdomain.com',
      subject: 'Contact', html: data.message,
    }),
  });
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ ok: true }));
};
