This is a free, community-focused session from the Kumo Community: an MTA-focused technical gathering of email engineers, deliverability professionals, and anyone working with email infrastructure. We're an open community — whether you're running KumoMTA, another platform, or evaluating your options, you're welcome here. Our goal is to share knowledge, exchange real-world experience, and help the broader email community build better infrastructure together.

Have you ever considered bringing your email infrastructure in-house with your own MTA? It's a big decision — and the real-world experience of those who've done it is invaluable. Join us for Office Hours when host Mike Hillyer sits down with John Moody, Engineering Manager, Email Platforms at Klaviyo, to talk through his journey rebuilding email infrastructure from the ground up and taking his MTA in-house.

This is a live, interactive session: bring your questions and get them answered directly by John and Mike in real time. Whether you're exploring the idea, mid-migration, or just want to learn from someone who's been in the trenches, this is a conversation worth joining.
