  • Show HN: Hyvor Post (privacy-first newsletters) & Relay (self-hosted email API)
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Dec 2025
    Hello HN,

    We (HYVOR) are excited to launch two new products today:

    Hyvor Post (https://post.hyvor.com): a simple, privacy-first newsletter platform with zero tracking.

    Hyvor Relay (https://github.com/hyvor/relay): a self-hosted email delivery service. An alternative to services like AWS SES or Mailgun.

    We've been working on these two projects for almost a year, and we are super excited to finally release them.

    Our release announcement has more insights: https://hyvor.com/blog/hyvor-post-relay. In short, we first added newsletter features to Hyvor Talk (our commenting system), and it proved to make things complicated. So, we started working on Hyvor Post as a standalone newsletter platform. Then, we could not find an SMTP provider that does not include tracking features and has reasonable pricing - so we built our own: Hyvor Relay.

    Both products are open-source under AGPLv3. Hyvor Post is cloud-only at the moment. Hyvor Relay is self-hosted only. Compared to traditional solutions like Postfix, Hyvor Relay makes it very hard to make mistakes when sending emails by having built-in health checks for DKIM, SPF, PTR, a DNS server to automate records, etc. Building Hyvor Relay was a significant undertaking for our small team, and we are very happy that we now have a reasonably stable version. We are also working to release a public cloud version in 2026 to help developers reduce email sending costs significantly.

    Our team is around on HN - feel free to ask any questions!

    We are working on an open-source, self-hosted solution [0] to make this easier. When you correctly set up DKIM, SPF, reverse/forward DNS for IPs, it is not much hard to get emails delivered. IPs can still get blacklisted and you need to monitor blacklists and contact them if it happens. Solutions like Postfix are great, but they lack observability. In our solution, we have developed dashboards and health checks to make it easier to find problems with the set up.

    We are currently running beta tests (really appreciate it if you can join).

    For the past two months, I have been working on Hyvor Relay [1], an open-source, self-hosted alternative to AWS SES, Mailgun. It's been an awesome ride learning SMTP and DNS in depth. And, we're pretty close to a beta release.
