 @053f521c No, the domain is not set up for anything yet, I was trying to make an account with a service so I can set it up. (Well, it is set up for Brevo now, I was able to sign up with them, so problem solved for now)

#SendGrid immediately banned my account before I could even log in.

Why is this so hard :blobfoxangrylaugh:

Does anyone have suggestions on a service I can use to reliably send transactional emails, for low cost? 
 Oh my god #cycling power meters are so expensive
