Set up SendGrid
Authenticate your sending domain, then create an API key with at least Mail Send permission. Copy it: it is shown once.
Set the outgoing mail
On Settings › Outgoing mail, set up an SMTP server: the Server is smtp.sendgrid.net, the Port 587, the Username the literal word apikey and the Password your API key. Port 587 uses STARTTLS; port 465 is TLS from the first byte.
# Or from the CLI
mailpiece settings sending smtp update --address smtp.sendgrid.net --port 587 \
--username apikey --password SG....
# The app's sign-in mail, optional: the same values
SMTP_ADDRESS=smtp.sendgrid.net
