Thanks for the insight. It's the only mailer service I've used so far but seems like I gotta do some exploring.

I've been exploring lately, and the only two I've actually tried so far are SendGrid and Amazon SES. Both of them have a free tier that lets me play. Both of them have so far had pretty poor deliverability due to being in blacklists, though SendGrid has been better.

I'm just looking for something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for the minimal email volume I send, and that has better deliverability than sending myself with a VPS, as there's usually at least one bad actor in any /24 your typical VPS will land in and that punishes your deilverability.

Postmark works well for transactional email. We've seen consistently good deliverability over time.

Thanks! It was on my list to check out, I guess I'll do that now :)

I used them at the previous company I worked. They were just launching their products.

They have the best support I ever encountered, we were having weird delivery issue on some specific clients and they help us debug the whole problem.

They have more than fair pricing and actually do a manual verification when you want to start using them (and not just testing with your own domain).

Their hobbyist tier is 100 mails per month. No credit card required.
