I switched to SendGrid ^_^ Seems Awesome, couldn't check out MailGun (Account shows disabled, needs to contact support, already opened ticket). Checked out SparkHost, they are slow in verifying Domain.
That would be it. They should probably note that somewhere as I was confused why they wanted me to add Mandrill, too.
Domain verification was very quick for me. They offer 4 options which is nice.
So, what are you going to use now ? And, You signed up with Google Project in SendGrid (Free 25K/Mon Email) ??
SparkPost. 100K is much more than 25K, emails are delivered instantly, and the interface is nice. I don't have any complaints.
I did sign up for SendGrid, but they ask for too much information when you first signup, so I just couldn't be bothered.
Amazon SES has this "sandbox" placed on your account where you can't send any email to unverified recipients, you have to request that they lift it manually by filling in a form.
how to remove unsubscribe link on bottom of each email sent from sendgrid?
subscription tracking option under the tracking settings
Can we check each mail subject and recepient like mandrill in sparkpost?
Does sparkpost anonymize mail? Aka. remove x-received-by, x-origin-ip headers etc.?
Nope. Origin IP is sent with the relayed mail.
Yes.
Is amazon SES really the only company that understands that in some cases this is a security-risk?
I just tried Mailjet, and they don't disclose the origin IP either. So far they seem to be the only other option.
It does seem that a lot of providers aren't considering how many sites are behind CloudFlare but still need to send transactional messages (a forum, in my case).
Elasticmail also doesn't seem to add origin IP headers, testing them out at the moment and seems great apart from the attachments charge of $1/GB but we don't do a lot of attachment sending, only really invoice PDFs that are 40KB each.

Question about having multiple providers and verified domains:
Say I have account at mailgun and verified my domain 'aaa.com' and subdomain 'sss.bbb.com' using the mailgun domain validation steps.
Now, can I also validate the exact two same domains with sendgrid - to be able to send thru either mailgun or sendgrid? So my application can use sendgrid if mailgun is down or unreachable?
Yes. Just make sure you have the correct DKIM & SPF records for both on your domains.
Ah, I don't seem to be having issues with deliverability so far as a result of that.
I sent a test email from sparkpost and can't find any headers mentioning 'origin' when viewing the source via gmail, maybe gmail strips it out or are they called something else?
I could see the origin on Gmail.
It should be like this:
Received: from [x.x.x.x] ([x.x.x.x.x:12345] helo=hostname)

Yeah you're right, I see that now. I double checked elasticmail and thankfully they remove those lines apart from of course showing their own IP, hopefully sparkpost think about removing them soon as it looks like a good alternative.
Lowendtalk mail for providers? Would be nice but maybe to much to ask..
mailgun
Sendgrid is good, but Sendgrid seems to be using mailchannels.
Is that a bad thing?
@Jarland can i use mxroute for this? Already using to send business email.
Definitely. If you're going to be sending hundreds of thousands of emails in a short period of time, MXroute might not be the best fit, but most people here aren't doing anything near that
Thank you! I'm sending few email mostly welcome and login notification, less than 30 monthly in mandrill.
mandrill become too expensive for me
nobody protect sender ip? like cloudflare but for emails.
I finally chose elasticemail, within minutes I was sending emails with them. No stupid verifications, just like mandrill at the beginning.
Elasticemail and Amazon SES does not include origin IP. Someone mentioned even Mailjet does not include it, however I haven't tried Mailjet.
I have finally settled with Amazon SES. Elasticemail is good but currently they do not support secure connections for outbound delivery. All connections from your server to elasticemail is secured... but elasticemail to receiptient's server is unsecured.
They told me they are looking into offering TLS connections for outbound delivery too, but haven't provided any dates.
