I was wondering why my contact forms weren't working anymore. Turns out sendgrid updated their TOS for the free accounts.
Since I don't have a valid use case for the paid tier of any Mail API service, I decided to just spin up my own SMTP server.
I was not happy with reverting my contact form ajax code from using the sendgrid api back to PHPmailer.
It's been a while but Copilot made remembering the ajax flow easier. It would've been faster if I just sent it as POST like it's 2008 all of a sudden but I needed the Javascript practice.
Contact Form is back up!
