    So am I correct thinking that the config options need to be changed before its compiled? Any chance it could read a conf/ini file instead?

    Besides the above query this looks great, I'm always happy to see utilities like this that can be self hosted. Not everyone is happy with a dozen external (ie saas) dependencies for their business systems!

    This can be useful.

    The problem is that there is already Mailgun and others providing this for free, and it's more likely that someone needing this service will prefer them, because they have less probability of shutting down the service.

    This could change if you open-sourced the code and made it easier for people to run it themselves.
