    Check our plans at mxroute.io, :)

    when using for notification is mail channels better than AWS SES.

    Have anyone run any tests but it has to be sent to same ID from both them.

    I would like to see a test.................

    It works well. The outbound spam filtering ensures that the IP's remain clean, and their NOC handles the IP reputation very well.

    But mail channels is costly compared to Amazon SES but yes never faced a issue with mail channels when used them through Mxroute.com.

    I will try mail channels when any of my customers in house mail servers have delivery issues. For notifications and all AWS SES works for me

    Its all comes to cost end of the day.

    Mail channels

    $0.50 USD for every thousand but has the advantage of outbound spam filtering so if any of the accounts get's hacked we will know soon.

    AWS SES

    $0.10 USD for the same quality but some different outbound filtering.

    I also use their free tier with shared ip and it is more than OK.

    Amazon SES especially if you want origin server IPs hidden :)

    Does MXRoute do this? I know email delivery is #1 priority, but I would think this would be important to many people...otherwise it could be a big hole in their DDOS protection setup.

    Thank you all.
    If SES is not an option due to client restrictions,
    What would you choose for an SMTP relay today? Mailgun?

    I'm using https://pepipost.com/pricing/. You get 30,000 emails a month for free. After that it's pretty low cost and best of all you get cashback if you have high open rates. So the best senders pay the least.

    I've said this before, but here goes again:

    Services like sendgrid & mailgun don't work well for personal mail because DSN messages are not delivered back to the sender, or are confusing:

    With mailgun/sendgrid and other similar free-tier services:

    • Your user Joe sends a message and because he fat-fingered the "TO" address it bounces.
    • A DSN bounce notice is logged in the Mailgun/Sengrid console.
    • Joe doesn't receive the DSN bounce message, so he has no idea that his message bounced.
    • Confusion.

    Amazon SES is somewhat better, but not perfect:

    • Your user Joe sends a message and because he fat-fingered the "TO" address it bounces.
    • A DSN bounce notice is sent to Joe, originating from Amazon.com.
    • Joe wonders why an online retailer is sending him email bounce messages.
    • Confusion.

    If you're sending a newsletter, or spam, then they're fine :)

    @Karlo mxroute.io and mxroute.com are two different products. Mxroute.io is a smtp relay service... (reselling mailchannels)

    Mxroute.com could have been a good option as an SMTP service, but since they don't use Mailchannels anymore I bet there are better alternatives....

    Have tried plenty of SMTP but Amazon SES is the best of all them.

    I started looking into (and trying) Amazon WorkEmail as an alternative to mxroute. It's built on top of Amazon SES (for sending, so same reliability) but with an IMAP component. They have a web email service available or you can roll your own with roundcube or whatever. So, you get SES availability and the not-per-email pricing.

    A good option for people looking for full hosted email, not just outbound SMTP.

    Interesting but 4USD/user/month...

    Correct. It's not for the $10/yr crowd (nor am I advocating them, as I just starting testing), but if you have need of the reliability of SES, it makes sense to do more on top of it without the per email pricing of straight SES. (WorkEmail has no per-email pricing.)

    I just mentioned them because everyone I talked to had no idea Amazon offered such a service but everyone seemed to know SES (which isn't recipient (IMAP) friendly -- you have to some kind of S3 bucket and so on), so I thought I would mention it.

    My bad, I didn't check the date. After posting comment I realized I just wake-up old discussion.

    My 3 year experience with mailgun are pretty bad. Until a year ago, I would have recommended Mailgun, but since then, IPs are too often blacklisted. Mailgun obviously has no reputation management.

    I had to open the last months again and again tickets because the mail IP is blacklisted. For the sake of interest, once I have not opened a ticket and watched if they even notice that the IP is listed on various blocklists. And surprise: Even after 5 days they did nothing.

    Often, after I wrote them, the IP was changed with another IP with bad reputation. Ridiculous.

    I switched to Amazon SES and am very satisfied.
