Sendgrid is great but takes some fiddling.

Configuration

Email Template

I am using a Dynamic Template from here.

I am building it from HTML snippets in Reusable, here:

development/Reusable/HTML_CSS/basicEmailHtml_header.html

Domain Authentication

Go here to set up DNS records to authenticate your domain.

You will have to add something like 5 CNAME and 1 TXT DNS records, all kinda ugly. Just do it!

Make sure you don't proxy them if you are using Cloudflare.

Remove the old ones! Even if they are still "verified", they will not work! And Sendgrid will try to use them and fail. Keep it clean with only one of each these that actually have DNS records:

  • Domain Authentication
  • Link Branding
  • Single Sender (this should be good to reuse)

Repeat if you change registrars!
