I tried to deliver mail from Node.js and Python using the mail delivery service (SendGrid) of IBM Cloud!
background
I am planning to provide a service for general users in the case I am currently in charge of, and it is necessary to send an email to the user when registering as a user, so how to procure an email sending server It became an issue. It was said that there is no mail sending server that can be prepared by the customer, so as a result of investigating whether there is a service that can be used in IBM Cloud, it seems that the following services can be used, so whether it can actually be used or not I actually registered the service and tried to use it, so I summarized it in this article. https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/email-delivery?locale=ja
About email delivery SendGrid's IBM Cloud Email Delivery Service is a mail relay service. This service allows you to relay outbound mail services using smart hosts. Smart hosts relay SMTP traffic from SMTP servers, mail clients, or any service or program language that can handle SMTP. The service also generates metrics, tracks email lists, and tracks email activity (email bounces, clicks, drops, open, etc.). The service also provides other features such as newsletter support and authentication.
