Features

Everything you need for a proper SMTP service.

A platform built for teams shipping transactional email, newsletters, alerts and notifications at scale. No slogans, just serious engineering.

SMTP relay server

Drop-in replacement for your app mailer. Ports 25/465/587, SASL auth, TLS 1.2+, compatible with PHPMailer, Nodemailer, WP Mail SMTP and any RFC-compliant client.

Modern REST API

Clean JSON, idempotency keys to prevent duplicate sends, automatic exponential retry, transparent rate-limit headers. Public OpenAPI documentation.

Per-domain DKIM

Every customer signs with their own sender domain. Proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment. Reputation is partitioned, never shared with other tenants.

Real-time webhooks

Delivered, bounced, opened, clicked, complaint and unsubscribe events. HMAC-SHA256 signing, exponential retry, full delivery log with manual replay.

Dedicated IPs (opt-in)

Reputation that is exclusively yours, never shared. Automatic gradual warmup of up to 30 days, with a volume curve following ISP best practices.

GDPR · SdI · PEC

European datacenters, Italian e-invoicing (SdI), SDI codes and PEC supported, DPO contact, publicly listed sub-processors.

Inbound email parsing

Receive email on support@, orders+*@ as parsed JSON webhooks. Attachments extracted, headers cleaned, SPF and DKIM results included in the payload.

Multi-tenant white-label

Create subaccounts for your end customers. Separate quotas, custom branding, aggregated billing. Ideal for agencies and SaaS platforms.

Full activity log

Every email tracked: timestamp, message ID, recipient, SMTP code, delivery IP, headers. Search by recipient domain, sender, status, IP. 90-day retention.

How it works

Three steps and you're sending.

From sign-up to first send in under 10 minutes.

1

Add your domain

Enter your sender domain (e.g. yourcompany.com) and get the 3 DNS records to publish: SPF, 2048-bit DKIM and DMARC. Verification happens automatically.

2

Create SMTP credentials or an API key

System-generated username and password for SMTP, or a Bearer token for the REST API. One credential per app or environment. Granular scopes (send, bulk, read).

3

Send with your mailer

Configure your app's SMTP client or call /v1/messages via cURL. Real-time event tracking from the dashboard.

POST /v1/messages 202 Accepted
curl https://api.targetsmtp.it/v1/messages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tm_live_a8f3..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from":    "orders@yourcompany.com",
    "to":      "customer@example.com",
    "subject": "Order confirmation #4821",
    "template": "order_confirmation",
    "variables": { "first_name": "Mario", "total": "89.00" }
  }'

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Target SMTP?
Target SMTP is a European service for sending transactional and marketing email via SMTP relay and REST API. It replaces mailers like SendGrid, Mailgun and Postmark with EU hosting, Italian-speaking support and Italian e-invoicing (SdI/PEC).
Can I use my own sender domain?
Yes, and you should. Each account configures one or more sender domains with its own DKIM keypair. The system generates SPF, DKIM and DMARC records ready to publish on your domain's DNS. Reputation belongs to your domain, never shared.
How does billing work?
All invoices are issued in Italian XML SdI format and transmitted to the Italian Revenue Agency's Sistema di Interscambio (SdI). We support SDI codes and PEC. Payment is monthly in advance with 22% VAT for Italian customers; reverse-charge applies for EU VAT-registered businesses.
Are the servers in Italy?
Physical servers are in the European Union (certified datacenters). We do not advertise "Italian IPs" to avoid making inaccurate claims. What matters for deliverability is the reputation of the sending IP and domain, both fully under our control.
Can I send marketing email as well as transactional?
Yes. The service supports both. For marketing you'll need to manage your lists properly with double opt-in, an unsubscribe link (mandatory for GDPR compliance) and respect bounce/complaint thresholds.
What APIs do you offer?
A modern REST API at /v1/messages with Bearer-token authentication, idempotency keys, exponential retry and transparent rate-limiting headers. Webhooks for delivered, bounced, opened, clicked and complaint events. Official SDKs for PHP, Node.js and Python in progress.
How fast is the service?
API ingestion typically has P50 < 50ms and P95 < 150ms latency from within Europe. Throughput depends on your plan. Actual delivery to the recipient mail server depends on the receiver.
What happens if one of my customers sends spam?
An anti-abuse system is active 24/7: bounce parser, FBL handler for spam reports, automatic suspension if the complaint rate exceeds 0.1% or the bounce rate 5%. You'll be notified before your domain's reputation is compromised.
