Multi-provider failover, stream isolation, outage simulation, and revenue protection. Not another email API — the infrastructure layer that guarantees delivery when any single provider goes down.

Most email APIs
Send
Fire and forget
“Here's a 200 OK. Good luck.”
Single provider
Hope
One provider, one point of failure
“Check your webhook later.”
Truncus
Guarantee
Multi-provider. EU-native. Zero loss.
“Delivered. Here's proof.”
Most email APIs return 202 Accepted and call it done. What actually happened? Nobody knows until a webhook fires hours later.
Truncus is different. Every email is a tracked operation:
Your agent doesn't fire-and-forget. It executes, confirms, and moves on.
Below your agent logic. Above raw email providers. The execution layer.

AWS SES
primary (Ireland, eu-west-1)
Brevo
failover (France)
Circuit breaker: 5 failures in 60s triggers automatic failover. Dual MX records for inbound continuity.
The execution stack
Providers: SES Ireland (primary) + Brevo France (automatic failover). Circuit breaker with 5-failure threshold.
Execution layer: Truncus (EU) — validates, routes, retries with exponential backoff, governs, proves. Failed queue with dead-letter recovery.
SES Ireland primary. Brevo France automatic failover. Durable circuit breaker (5 failures in 60s triggers switch). Every email logs which provider delivered it.
Failed emails enter a durable retry queue with exponential backoff (30s, 2m, 8m, 30m, 2h). Dead-letter recovery for permanent failures. Replay API for manual intervention.
Durable email operations. Create, track, retry, cancel. Like Stripe PaymentIntents, but for email. Full attempt history per operation.
Confidence scoring, spam risk assessment, domain health check, recipient history. Know before you send.
Primary provider in Ireland (eu-west-1). Backup in France. Both providers EU-based. GDPR-native by architecture, not by add-on. Your emails never leave Europe.
Kill switch API, recipient cooldowns, account reputation engine, anomaly detection, provider health API. Every email logs which provider sent it.
Isolated email streams for transactional and outreach. Each with its own domain, reputation, and metrics. Cold email can never damage your auth email deliverability.
Hard enforcement at the API level. Outreach emails are blocked from transactional domains. No warnings, no silent fallback. Your product email reputation stays protected.
Three real workflows. Execute, validate, recover.
Agent sends invoice
Durable operation with exactly_once guarantee
// Agent sends invoice — durable operation with guarantee
const op = await truncus.operations.create({
type: 'email.send',
delivery_guarantee: 'exactly_once',
params: {
from: 'billing@yourapp.com',
to: customer.email,
subject: `Invoice #${invoice.id}`,
html: renderInvoice(invoice),
},
});
const result = await truncus.operations.get(op.operation_id);
// { status: "completed", provider: "ses", delivered_at: "..." }Agent handles bounce
Post-send intelligence with actionable recommendations
// Agent handles bounce gracefully
const email = await truncus.emails.get(messageId);
if (email.intelligence.failure_category === 'permanent') {
// "The recipient email does not exist."
await removeFromList(email.to);
} else if (email.intelligence.is_retryable) {
// Already handled — Truncus retried across providers
}Agent validates first
Pre-send confidence scoring protects reputation
// Agent validates before risking domain reputation
const check = await truncus.emails.validate({
from: 'agent@yourapp.com',
to: prospect.email,
subject: 'Partnership opportunity',
});
if (check.recommendation === 'do_not_send') {
// Skip — high bounce risk
console.log(`Skipping: ${check.checks.spam_risk}`);
} else {
await truncus.emails.sendSync({ ... });
}Most email APIs stop at delivery. Truncus guarantees execution, proves outcomes, and protects reputation.

Why Truncus exists
Every email API tells you they sent it. None of them tell you it arrived. We built Truncus because agents need execution certainty, not optimistic status codes. If your system decided to send an email, you deserve to know what happened.
