Can i use Google App Engine as a replacement for Google Apps to send email from php-driven webapp? -


righty, i'll use bullets make clear possible!

  • my application lives on server (and doesn't use g.a.e)
  • currently use google apps (paid) mail server in php, it's great but...
  • it's limited ~2000 emails per day, need send more in forthcoming version of web app.

.

  1. can use gae's emailing via remote api?
  2. can view sent/received email in gmail can google apps?
  3. am totally barking wrong tree?!

yes can send emails gae, in php. need valid gmail or google apps account use sender address.

things note:

  • the cost of 1 email $0.0001.
  • the size of sent/received emails add bandwidth cost.
  • there quotas, varying free apps , billable apps. free app limit 100/day, billable app quota 20,000/day. (you need pay first bill in order go beyond free quota limit, if enabled billing). need have premier account go beyond 20,000/day limit (they might approve without premier account if ask them.
  • there technical limits.
  • no, emails sent gae not show in senders outbox.

update: gae can send emails , pretty @ that. it's not generic smtp server, it's not drop-in replacement services mailgun. not "value-added" mail services, maillist management, tracking, etc.. doable have code yourself.
