Move SMTP or API sending in stages, run both providers in parallel, and check your ports and support needs first.
A staged move from SendLayer, with an honest list of what it publishes and what we did not find
Free plan available. See plans and limits
Only details we could confirm from public pages on 30 October 2026 are listed. Where we could not find a detail, the table says so.
Provider details change. Check the live pages before you decide.
INR and EUR billing, GST invoices for India and UPI payment.
A free plan of 1,000 emails a month lets you test end to end before you move real traffic.
Starter is ₹799 a month for 10,000 emails, so you can compare it with your current bill.
Port 587 with STARTTLS and port 465 with implicit TLS, so most apps need credentials only.
A dedicated IP is an add-on on Growth and Scale and is included on Enterprise.
Authenticate both providers, shift one stream at a time and keep a fallback until you are sure.
List your domains, keys, templates, webhooks and suppressions.
Before changing anything, list what SendLayer does for you today: sending domains, API and SMTP keys, templates, webhooks, suppression lists and any integration that sends through it. A complete inventory prevents the surprises behind most failed migrations, such as a forgotten webhook or a script still using an old key.
Add MigoSMTP DNS records alongside the old ones.
Add MigoSMTP's SPF, DKIM and DMARC records alongside your existing SendLayer records instead of replacing them. Both providers can then send for your domain at the same time, so you can verify the new setup without interrupting live mail.
Recreate templates and webhooks, import suppressions.
Recreate your templates and webhooks in MigoSMTP and import the suppression lists you exported from SendLayer, so people who bounced or unsubscribed are not emailed again on day one. Where SendLayer concepts differ from ours, the mapping table further down shows what to use.
Shift traffic in stages and watch delivery.
Move traffic in stages, a low-risk stream first and then the rest, while watching delivery, bounces and complaints. Keep SendLayer configured as a fallback until the new path has proved itself.
Remove old records and keys once stable.
Once delivery has been stable for a while, remove the old DNS records, revoke the old keys and cancel the SendLayer subscription, in that order.
Terminology reflects the provider's documentation at the time of writing. Verify against current docs before publishing.

To move from SendLayer to MigoSMTP, list your sending domains, SMTP users, API keys, webhooks and the sites or plugins that send through it, then authenticate your domains with MigoSMTP while the SendLayer records stay in place. Create SMTP credentials or scoped keys, point webhooks at your handler, and move one site or stream at a time. For SMTP senders the change is often a new host, username and password.
SendLayer's pricing page lists a trial of 200 emails rather than a monthly free plan, and a Starter plan at $5 a month for 1,000 emails when billed annually. Its SMTP page lists port 587 for TLS and port 465 for SSL. Limits are per account: for example Starter is capped at 50 emails a minute and 500 a day, with one sender domain and three days of log retention. Webhooks are included on all plans. We did not find inbound email parsing or dedicated IPs on the pages we read.
MigoSMTP documents port 587 with STARTTLS and port 465 with implicit TLS. MigoSMTP has a free plan of 1,000 emails a month, dedicated IPs are an add-on on Growth and Scale and are included on Enterprise, and we offer INR and EUR billing, GST invoices for India and UPI payment. These SendLayer details are from sendlayer.com, read on 30 October 2026; check their live pages before you decide.
If an application sends over SMTP, create MigoSMTP credentials, change the host, username and password in staging, and send a test. That is often the whole change for that application.
Test port 587 or 465 from the same server before you commit. A blocked port is the most common reason an SMTP move fails on day one.
Map the fields your code sends to SendLayer onto the MigoSMTP send call, change one service at a time, and compare the results before you move the next.
Authenticate each sending domain in MigoSMTP and keep both sets of DNS records until the move is complete.
Map the events your code uses, such as delivered, bounced and spam complaint, update the endpoint, and verify signatures in the new payload.
Export bounced and unsubscribed addresses from SendLayer and import them before the first send so you never mail a known bad address.
Use the free SPF, DKIM and DMARC checker to confirm that your domain authorises SendLayer and MigoSMTP at the same time before you move any traffic.
If you move to a dedicated IP, the IP warmup calculator gives you a day-by-day volume ramp so reputation builds steadily.
While both providers run, the bounce code lookup turns raw SMTP responses into plain explanations and a suggested fix.
Send our team your list of streams and rough volumes and ask for a review of the order in which to move them. This is offered on request.
The checker, calculator and lookup are free tools on this site. The cutover review is a conversation with our team, and you decide every change in your own account.
Run a send from the machine that will send in production, not from your laptop. Network rules differ and you want to find them early.
Publish SPF and DKIM for MigoSMTP while keeping SendLayer's records so both can send during the overlap.
MigoSMTP has a free plan of 1,000 emails a month, so you can test end to end before you move real traffic.
During the overlap, compare deferral and complaint rates by recipient domain between the two providers.
Decide what support you need during and after the move, and ask us what each MigoSMTP plan includes.
Remove the old credentials first, wait a week, then remove old DNS records.
Moving from SendLayer? Our team can review your senders and ports before you start.
Authenticate your domains with MigoSMTP alongside SendLayer, create credentials or API keys, update webhooks, import suppressions, and move one stream at a time. For SMTP senders the change is usually a new host, username and password.
Yes. Migration is free, we guarantee it is done within 2 working hours, and there is no downtime because both providers run in parallel until you are ready to cut over.
Not in every way, and that is the honest answer. SendLayer publishes low entry prices and simple plans for small sites. MigoSMTP's strengths are INR and EUR billing, GST invoices, UPI, dedicated IPs on higher plans and a free plan of 1,000 emails a month. Choose on what matters to you.
Port 587 with STARTTLS and port 465 with implicit TLS, the same two ports SendLayer's SMTP page lists.
SendLayer's pricing page lists a 200 email trial, not a monthly free plan. MigoSMTP's free plan has 1,000 emails a month.
Dedicated IPs are an add-on on Growth and Scale and are included on Enterprise. We did not find dedicated IPs on SendLayer's pages.
Yes. Authenticate both and move a small share first.
If you depend on a feature, port or support channel that MigoSMTP does not offer, staying is sensible. Test before you decide.

The DPDP Rules were published in November 2025 and phase in over 18 months. We explain the notice, consent, security, breach and retention duties in plain terms, the reported penalty ceilings and a plan for email programmes.
Password-based SMTP in Exchange Online is being retired after two postponements. We set out the reported timeline, what fails and when, the five migration routes and why system mail belongs on its own sending path.
As passkeys replace passwords, sign-in mail should shrink while recovery and security alerts matter more. We review the 2026 FIDO data and work through each message type and three scenarios to 2030.
Apple accounts for 62.26% of tracked opens, and AI assistants now read mail for people. We look at why the open rate fails, what the data says and which signals to measure instead.
Fluent, targeted phishing is now cheap. We review the figures and their weaknesses, explain what authentication can and cannot stop and set out what legitimate senders should do next.
BIMI shows a verified logo beside authenticated email, but its entry ticket is enforced DMARC. We set out Gmail's requirements, VMC against CMC, the unverified vendor claims and three scenarios to 2028.
A new class of sender is arriving: software agents with their own inboxes. We review the 2026 funding and product signals, the deliverability and security risks and three scenarios to 2030.
Two independent 2026 studies show DMARC records are common while enforcement lags. We compare their numbers, explain why domains stall at p=none and set out a 90-day plan to move to reject.
