Ask HN: Service for sending emails from your app?

It's really easy to setup exim for outbound mail. I blogged about this:

I would take a look at SendGrid (By one of the Techstars groups), or AuthSMTP. Both are about the same price, although the fact that AuthSMTP prices are yearly disguises this.

Good Luck!

What kind of app is this? Web/desktop? Are you saying you basically need an smtp server to send emails through? How many emails are you trying to send in, say, a day or an hour?

Why are you looking at a server rather than sending it yourself? If you follow best-practices, you're not going to see worse results than using one of these 3rd party groups.
