Infrastructure for founders

Add email to your app like you add a database. Code first, config second, done.

Your mail.config.ts lives in your repo, deploys with your app, grows with your company.

From MVP to IPO, your mail.config.ts grows with you.

~/projects
❯npx create-next-app t3-chat-web

Day 1 founder workflow

You have an idea. You want it to feel real. Real companies have company email. You shouldn't pay $600/year for 5 mailboxes while figuring out if it works.

One command setup

npx hustlemail create t3.chat — creates mail.config.ts, configures DNS, generates DKIM keys. You're done.

Lives in your repo

mail.config.ts is version controlled, reviewed in PRs, deploys with git push. No more wrestling with dashboards.

Hosted free forever

Use our managed hosting at zero cost — or truly own the stack with self-hosted OSS.

Unlimited mailboxes

support@, founders@, investors@, noreply@ — create as many as you need. No per-seat pricing.

Real infrastructure

DKIM signing, SPF records, spam filtering. Your emails land in inboxes, not spam folders.

Auth is orthogonal

Start with mock users, swap in WorkOS/Clerk/Okta when you close your seed round. Config doesn't change.


export const mail = {
  domain: "t3.chat",
  boxes: ["support", "theo", "noreply"],
  routes: {
    support: ["theo"],
    noreply: ["bounce"],
  },
  auth: { provider: "convex" },
};

From MVP to IPO

Your mail.config.ts grows with you. Same file, same patterns, from 2 founders to 500 employees.

~/t3-chat-web
❯npx create-next-app t3-chat-web

Update routes, push, done. With Okta/WorkOS connected, new hires auto-appear in your users table.

Simple, honest pricing

Pay per domain, not per user. Every tier gets unlimited mailboxes, routes, and rules.

† Outbound delivery note: Simple tier outbound is currently routed through Resend's shared IP infrastructure. Resend is a transactional email API — shared pools mean your deliverability can be affected by other senders on the same IPs. No inbox-placement guarantee is made for the Simple tier. Managed tier dedicated IP warming (Postfix/Haraka on isolated Fly.io machines with per-domain PTR records) is on the roadmap and not yet live. We will update this page when it ships. If guaranteed deliverability is critical today, contact us before signing up.

What's "Bring Your Own Keys"?

The Free Forever tier lets you own every dependency. You bring API keys from these providers (all have generous free tiers) and pay them directly. We charge nothing.

Email shouldn't be a business problem

It should be a configuration problem. Add email to your app like you add a database. Code first, config second, done.
