The Elastic Email alternative for AI agents
Elastic Email is one of the cheapest ways to send, and it can receive: Inbound Routing points your MX at it and POSTs parsed fields to a URL. But the payload is form params with no SPF/DKIM/DMARC verdict, it's gated behind the paid Pro plan, and there's no agent loop. MailKite (which we build) hands an autonomous agent a real inbox as one signed email.received event with an auth block and a receive→reply loop.
