It's not entirely free but I use a service called Postmark to send emails for me so that they are less likely to hit spam folders.
It is basically an email delivery system that can use a REST api for sending mails. You get 1000 credits when you sign up for free and can purchase more credits for 1.50 per thousand emails. Most of my emails get sent out from my backend now, but Im sure I still have a postmark library laying around. If I can't find it, I would be happy to flesh out the basics again real fast.
