We run a Moodle 2.6 site, so far we have been using Gmail for the SMTP email and it was working fine until we hit the Gmail limit of sent emails.
With the increase in courses and students its now a priority for us to change the SMTP. Are there any good (free if possible) alternatives of Gmail that we can use to setup the SMTP messaging in Moodle?
I read about SMTP relays, there are some that have free trials or free accounts for low numbers of emails sent. Does anyone has an experience with them, Any recommendations?
Thank you!
