📡 About sending — all plans require your own SMTP credentials
Verbena Email sends campaigns through your SMTP provider — not ours. This keeps your sender reputation in your own hands. Free options like Mailgun (1,000/mo), Brevo (300/day), and Resend (3,000/mo) work great. Setup takes about 10 minutes.
