GDPR compliant / European SMTP relay for self hosted services? (programming.dev)

I am planning to host a test instance of discourse for an NGO I volunteer for on my VPS. It is supposed to accompany an event with around 100-150 participants so I expect some traffic over the weekend of the event. The only unanswered question I currently have is the mail setup. I considered self-hosting the SMTP relay myself but found a lot of recommendations to rather outsource it to an external service. I have thus been wondering if there are recommendations for an SMTP relay service? GDPR compliance on a European server is a must. Ideally, it would be inexpensive, easy to cancel, or even free as I am planning to take the instance down after the event and learn from the experiences and comments of the users.

Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I've been using Scaleway's TEM for about a year without a complaint. The service is free if you send 300 emails a month or less (then 0.25€ per 1000 mails).

Thanks for this, I didn't know Scaleway had a free service. I'll definitely take a look

That’s a great recommendation, thanks! The pay per use model seems very fair and I like their approach to sustainability matters very much.
