I've been using gmail (I couldn't get gmx to work at all through the Haskell api). However, this appears problematic in that gmail arbitrarily claims that the server is not to be trusted at certain times and then seems to require 2-stage verification.

Perhaps mailgun or something similar?

Or perhaps send through postfix and attempt to configure it to forward messages through gmail with all the authentication it requires.

Fixed using Gmail by firstly setting up two-phase commit and secondly by setting a one-off application password for the appropriate Gmail user.
