I recommend Postmark for a fast delivery of the e-mail.
SES. Always SES.
MXroute, Amazon SES. Reliability.
I don't recommend SES since we got a lot of bonus emails from them and they need to verify the sender email address like [email protected]
MXroute isn't intended to be used as an SMTP relay. Especially not for marketing.
You can verify on the domain level instead of email level.
I remember we have to verify all of them, did they change the rules?
You might have at one point, I forget, but now you just need to verify once per domain at the DNS level (you can also do it the per email way as well though).
Last time we used it was like 2 years ago and we had to verify the domain (DNS), as well as the email address. Maybe they changed it.
Yes only domain is required now, you can do either domain or every email address, both are not necessary (SES).
SES, Oracle Mail
Mentally strong people run
nc -l 25and answer SMTP commands manually.Can't recommend SES, they wasted a lot of our time with a bunch (and I mean A BUNCH) of questions.
We responded very carefully, we only send transactional email AND we've been paying clients for maybe 4-5 years.
"No, but please answer these 10 more questions"
"Ok, here's the answers"
"Thanks! Still no"
Any transactional email service from big provider:
Amazon
Oracle
M$
Mailgun
Postmark
Solid choices for legitimate use. Spammers go to hell.
But feel free to use it as an SMTP relay, there's not much difference between it and transactional services besides API and common web interface expectations. Except that it uses the most militantly protected IPs around, hand curated at every level to ensure the highest possibility of inbox delivery that an IP range can provide (recognizing of course that it's not all about IP reputation).
So automatic emails allowed?
Like verification codes, invoice reminders, payment confirmations, you get the idea
Absolutely. Transactional is one of the most common use cases.
I have no idea why I believed that was off-limits
It was also same 2 years ago.
Exim, as part of direct admin
Postmark, MXRoute.
Amazon SES, Mailjet, smtp2go, Brevo
I am using MXRoute as transactional email for more than 3 years.
We have some very, very large customers using us for it as well
Depends on use case.
If it's transactional email like notifications, use SES, Sendgrid, or Oracle.
If it's for business or personal email (from human to human), use MXRoute.
Using SES for personal/business email is usually fine, but sometimes I found my emails sent from SES or Sendgrid lands in recipient's "Updates" tab (in Gmail) rather than "Primary", even when all DNS and DKIM stuff is correctly set up.
Logs and bounce control is very important. Providers with api provide easy way to control list of receivers. If bounce -> remove from list. Also bounce percentage matters.
I don't knownwhy jarlandino does not bank on transactional email business venue. Customer base is here, reputation is here, knowledge is also present. Just move that lazzy ass and make transroute.com .
+1 to this
@jar start Transroute please.
