Direct Mail

Direct Mail handles transactional and marketing emails through Alibaba Cloud’s messaging infrastructure. It focuses on delivering messages efficiently without the overhead of managing complex SMTP servers or building custom delivery pipelines. The service abstracts the technical plumbing, letting you send notifications, receipts, or newsletters via API calls or console interfaces.

This setup suits teams already operating within the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem who need reliable outbound email without managing infrastructure. The main catch is the lack of a free tier, meaning every single message incurs a cost under the pay-as-you-go model. You pay strictly for what you send, so even low-volume testing or development environments will generate charges from the first email.
