The story behind Maillayer

Like many developers, I was frustrated with expensive email marketing services that charged per subscriber and per email. The costs kept climbing as my business grew, and I felt trapped in their ecosystem.

So I decided to build my own solution. One that would leverage Amazon SES's reliability and low costs, while giving me complete control over my email marketing. After a year of development and optimization, Maillayer was born.

What started as a personal project has now delivered over 500,000 emails for my own business, with inbox placement rates outperforming many established providers. The savings were remarkable—cutting my email costs by over 80%.

I built Maillayer because I needed a reliable email solution that wouldn't drain my budget as my business grew. Now, I'm making it available to you—a complete self-hosted solution at a fraction of the cost of subscription-based services.

Today, I'm offering this battle-tested software to fellow developers and business owners who want complete control over their email campaigns without the recurring costs. You install it once on your server, connect it to Amazon SES, and own it for life.
