> We run an exclusive transactional email service

What's this service called? A link also works. Imagine many people in this thread are looking for alternative transactional email services...

Mailgun will store the email body for 3-7 days (depending on plan/settings). I'm definitely not an advocate of mailgun as a whole, but their logs are really good in my opinion.

Are you stating you want the email body indefinitely though? Does Mandrill store this? I'm yet to fully check them out.

As soon as you support inbound email handling we'll definitely give it a go. Mailgun have some critical blockers (and potential security vulnerabilities) that have meant we're looking for an alternative to switch to ASAP.

Ideally by then you'll have migration guides from every big provider and so it will be even easier! Thanks for innovating in this space - it's much needed!

I suspect most serious customers will want dedicated IPs, and then they can send using their own servers. Relying on shared IPs is always going to cause problems, especially for high volume users that can sustain enough traffic for their own clean IP sets.

Agreed. More simply couldn't any ad tracker just have a dynamic parameter name so it's impossible to distinguish between a parameter required to run the site and a parameter used for tracking?

Or is this feature more advanced than just stripping known tracking parameter keys?

AWS Application Load Balancers seem to default to round-robin, would be interested to hear how many people change this to their "least connections" equivalent called "LOR" [1]? And why they don't support any other options?

I'd guess AWS default to round robin because it's the least complex, and doesn't have issues like if a worker responds extremely quickly due to an error (eg. returns a 500 immediately) then using LOR it seems it would consume all the requests until it's taken out of service by any health checks. But maybe there are other potential downsides?

"When you look at all the biggest competitors, you'll notice that they were all founded around 2009/2010, and they all have been acquired by now.

Because of that, it's common to see them only prioritizing enterprise requirements and optimizing for sales-led growth.

Nobody is building an exceptional developer experience. Nobody is trying to innovate."

I imagine YC hear complaints about email service providers from most of their startups, so I'm surprised it's taken this long for one to get backed. But I'm sure that mission statement resonates with many people here!

Make it easy to switch from the main providers, and I suspect you'll be overrun with demand. Thanks for trying to push some innovation in this space.

Anyone know how a service that requires an account and API keys can suffer from a DDoS attack impacting their API?

Does that mean their API servicing infrastructure is the same as their public front end? Or that they're just unwilling to stop new account sign ups at the expense of existing users?
