MailPace
by OhMySMTP Ltd HTTP API in Email delivery APIs
OhMySMTP Ltd · mailpace.com since 2022 · status page · who's behind it
MailPace is a UK transactional email service, formerly OhMySMTP, hosted in the EU. It sends mail through an HTTPS API or SMTP, turns inbound mail into webhooks and has a Domains and Email Status API.
Best for Low-volume transactional mail from EU-hosted infrastructure with idempotent sends and no tracking.
Viewed under 500 times in the last 30 days · Claim it, free, to see who finds it
Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Email. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.
Assessment. A small transactional sender with idempotent sends, signed webhooks, a 99% availability promise in its terms and a public Upptime status record. There is no OpenAPI spec, no published rate limit, no llms.txt, and its MCP server was rewritten on 4 November 2026 but isn't on npm or in the MCP registry yet.

From our research 6 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The HTTPS API at app.mailpace.com/api/v1 (send, Domains API, Email Status API), SMTP and inbound webhooks, read from the docs repository, mailpace.com, the landing and status repositories and the MCP server source on 6 November 2026. No account was made
- Limits
- Up to 50 recipients in the To field, no batch endpoint, 30 MB total message size per the send reference (the home page says 25 MB). Rate limits unpublished
- Retention
- Emails shown in the dashboard for 30 days, deleted from backups 7 days later, 37 days at most, per the DPA
- MCP server
- mailpace-mcp 2.0.0, stdio, MIT, 12 tools (send, email status, domains and domain tokens), rewritten 4 November 2026. Its README says it will be published to npm and the official MCP registry as com.mailpace/mailpace-mcp
- Hosting
- Freethought (EU-hosted application servers and databases), Hetzner backups in Germany, AppSignal in Amsterdam, Paddle and Tutanota, per the privacy policy of 30 August 2026
- Previous name
- OhMySMTP until January 2022; the company is still OhMySMTP Ltd
Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- Sends accept an
Idempotency-Keyheader kept for 24 hours, so a retry after a timeout doesn't send twice - Per-domain server tokens limit a leaked key to one domain, and organisation tokens can create and revoke them by API
- Webhooks are signed with Ed25519 and inbound mail is retried five times before it fails
- Status page on Upptime with GitHub issues as incident reports, and a 99% monthly availability promise with credits in the terms
- Sub-processors and their locations are listed, and mail is kept 30 days plus 7 in backups per the DPA
Weaknesses
- No OpenAPI spec, llms.txt or Markdown docs for agents; the reference is Docusaurus pages
- Rate limits aren't published; the docs say they vary by organisation age, plan and history
- No free plan without emailing support, and the paid plan starts at $10 a month
- MCP server 2.0.0 exists only in the repository; npm and the MCP registry had nothing for it on 6 November 2026
- No security.txt, disclosure policy or certification found
Before you call it notes for agents
- Send a UUID in
Idempotency-Keyon everyPOST /api/v1/send, and reuse it on a retry; keys last 24 hours and are tied to one token - Use the server token of the sending domain, since the From domain must match the token's domain or the API returns 403
- On 429
You are sending emails too quicklyback off; no Retry-After is documented - Send only transactional mail; marketing and bulk newsletters are prohibited by the docs and terms
- Read delivery with
GET /api/v1/domains/:domain_id/emails/:idusing the id the send returned

OhMySMTP Ltd on GitHub
Researched 6 November 2026 from public pages. MailPace's current site, docs and blog name no team. Its earlier blog (The Official MailPace Blog, the blog.mailpace.com build still served on Netlify) signs the rename post of 28 January 2022 "Written by Paul, founder of MailPace" and links his X account. Companies House lists Paul Cleary as a director of OhMySMTP Ltd (13200428) since its incorporation on 15 February 2021, and Harriet Cleary since 20 February 2026; the terms and privacy policy name OhMySMTP Ltd. Commits to the MCP, docs and status repositories come from the GitHub account paul-oms, whose profile gives no name, so it isn't linked here. No investors or funding announcements were found on mailpace.com, its blog, the old blog or the Companies House pages, so investors are left out. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet.

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run
Assessed on 6 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.
| Category | Weight this run | Score | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reliabilitychecked 6 November 2026 | 16%20 | 14.0 | |
Graded with the hosted lines. A public Upptime status page at status.mailpace.com, driven by the mailpace/status repository, with monitors for the application, SMTP, docs, blog and landing page and GitHub issues as incident reports (20). The 90 days from 8 August hold two incidents, an application outage on 22 September 2026 that the operator put down to an upstream provider returning 5xx (issue open for two minutes), and SMTP down on 2 November 2026 for about 35 minutes, which leaves SMTP at 99.65% for the week. Minor incidents only (20). No rate limit numbers are published; the docs say limits vary by organisation age, plan and history (0). A documented 429 with its message, no Retry-After or backoff guidance, and an Idempotency-Key on sends with written retry rules (10 of 15). The terms guarantee 99% monthly availability of the API and dashboard with a 5% credit per 30 minutes (10). The API is at v1 with no beta label (10). Total 70. | |||

| Schema & documentationchecked 6 November 2026 | 13%16.2 | 8.8 | |
No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract for the HTTPS API. The MCP server's 12 tools have typed zod inputs and output schemas, but that server isn't published yet, so partial credit (8 of 25). llms.txt answers 404 on mailpace.com and docs.mailpace.com, and no Markdown copies are served (0). The reference states what each endpoint does, and the introduction says when not to use it (transactional only, no batch, no static IPs) (12 of 20). Field tables give type, examples and required or optional, with enums for status, sort and direction and the 50-recipient cap in text (9 of 15). Examples in curl and six languages and a full table of error responses with messages, though several listed messages have a broken quote ({"error:"...) and the send reference says 30 MB where the home page says 25 MB (12 of 15). Version in the path with a promise that an old version runs until a published end-of-life date, and dated changelog posts (13 of 15). Total 54. | |||
| Agent ergonomicschecked 6 November 2026 | 13%16.2 | 11.5 | |
Responses are small, the send returns an id and status and Email Status returns one email (18 of 25). Only the domains list takes limit, offset, sort and direction; there is no endpoint to list or search sent mail (8 of 20). Errors are JSON with a human message and an HTTP status for each case in the documented table, with no stable error codes (14 of 20). Idempotency-Key on sends, kept 24 hours per token, and failed validations are not stored so they can be retried. The MCP server marks send as not idempotent and revoke as destructive (18 of 20). A send needs from, to, a subject and a body; official libraries for Node, Rails, Go and PHP transports and an SMTP route (13 of 15). Total 71. | |||
| Security & authchecked 6 November 2026 | 14%17.5 | 8.8 | |
| Per-domain server tokens that can only send from and read status for their domain, and an organisation token that creates, renames and revokes domain tokens through the Domains API. Tokens travel in headers only. The authentication page still tells users to contact support to regenerate a leaked token (25 of 30). No read-only token. A domain token can't touch other domains, and the unpublished MCP server has an optional recipient allowlist. No approval step on the hosted API (8 of 20). Inbound mail reaches the customer's webhook as untrusted content, and Email Status returns bounce text. The MCP README warns about prompt injection and suggests the allowlist (9 of 15). The dashboard keeps sent mail for 30 days; no log of API calls was found (6 of 15). No security.txt (404 on mailpace.com and app.mailpace.com), no disclosure policy, bug bounty, SOC 2 or ISO 27001. WebAuthn-only two-factor sign-in and Ed25519-signed webhooks are documented (2 of 20). Total 50. | |||

| No x402, MPP or L402 (0). $10 a month for 10,000 emails and $1 per 1,000 after, loaded from Paddle on the pricing page and stated in the comparison pages' tables without login (20). A free plan of up to 100 emails a month is available only by emailing support, so it isn't self-serve (5 of 20). Signup, DKIM verification and payment happen in a browser (0). Total 25. | |||

Not in the official MCP registry (search for mailpace returned nothing on 6 November). The Node library was last pushed in October 2024 and Go in January 2024, while mailpace-rails is current (7 of 15).

Fix list 15 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on MailPace. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- The home page says 1,000 emails a month for under $4 a month, while the pricing page's lowest price is $10 a month for 10,000; no plan under $10 was found
- Whether the free 100-email plan needs a card was not stated
- Rate limit numbers are not published
- unchecked: the MCP server's npm package and registry entry, which its README says are coming
