## What it is
A Django library providing email backends and webhook integrations for many transactional email service providers (ESPs) such as Amazon SES, Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, and Resend. It extends django.core.mail with a consistent, ESP-portable API for sending, tracking, and receiving email.

## Use cases
- send transactional email from Django via Mailgun or SendGrid
- switch email providers without rewriting email code
- receive inbound email through ESP webhooks in Django
- track email opens, bounces, and deliveries with Django signals
- send batch/merge-template emails through an ESP
- embed inline images in HTML email from Django

## When to choose
- you use Django and want a unified API across multiple transactional ESPs
- you need normalized webhook handling for delivery/tracking events
- you want to avoid vendor lock-in to a single email provider
- you need inbound email parsing with portable attachment access

## When to avoid
- you're not using Django (it depends on django.core.mail)
- you need a general-purpose SMTP library rather than ESP API integration
- you rely on an ESP not in the supported list

## Facets
- artifact type: library
