I was going to use auth0’s email verification feature, but when reading the docs ( [Customize Emails - Auth0 Docs](https://auth0.com/docs/email) ) i saw an alert saying that “Auth0’s built-in email provider is not supported for use in a production environment, should be used for testing only, and has several restrictions.”, but I want to use it in production environment. When will I be able to use it?

Hey there @KevinKons!

The reason it’s not for production-use is that our core product is identity and security 🙂 We wanted to give our developers an opportunity to test this feature as it’s a part of the product we offer but we know that there our really great email services for example SendGrid that’s why we provide a way to integrate with them. As far as I know it’s simply a matter of providing more quality service to you by combining quality elements into one 🙂

I don’t have much experience with it but as you said it’s in our docs that **Auth0’s built-in email provider is not supported for use in a production environment, should be used for testing only** so I won’t use it anyway.

Here are some of our docs on verification mails:

[https://auth0.com/docs/email/custom](https://auth0.com/docs/email/custom)

> **[Verify Emails using Auth0](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/user-accounts/verify-emails)**
>
> Overview of the different ways to verify user emails using Auth0
