I have an e-commerce website that needs to send emails to my clients to confirm shipping…
Do you have any free software to advise to send emails with a rest API?
Thanks
Edit: based on that post, you probably want fastmail to selfhost. Now the official API of mail clients is jmap, so it may not be “rest” and you may not be able to find a “reliable” rest api
I think JMAP (the IMAP successor) is the best choice here. It was designed to be an open alternative to the proprietary APIs offered by Gmail and the like. It offers a JSON API that clients can talk to using HTTP. The JMAP website has some examples: https://jmap.io/crash-course.html
So it seems that a simple server that implements JMAP would be what the OP is looking for, perhaps https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server (which also supports SMTP/IMAP for compatibility with other clients)?

A lot of “degoogling” talk has discussed how to degoogled email in a graceful way (Gmail has huge market share). Let me find that community.

Edit final: check this out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_mail_servers And I still don’t know what ones have a rest api.

Was going to say the same thing.
