Replaces these SaaS

SendGrid · Transactional email API
Haraka is a Node SMTP framework, not a finished product. You install it, enable plugins (`tls`, `dkim_sign`, `outbound`), point your app at it via SMTP, and get a programmable, scriptable relay. Migration from SendGrid means dropping the HTTPS API in favor of SMTP and building any UI/dashboard you need.
