Hey gang. Currently using sparkpost as my SMTP provider, however even with all of the DNS records in place for my domain (SPF/DKIM, etc), the vast majority of the emails sent by my site end up in the SPAM bin for my users. I switched over to mailgun as a test , and the email deliverability was pra…

We use Amazon SeS sending about 40K emails a day around 1 Mil Emails a month with no issues whatsoever. And fairly affordable.

Seems to be that time of the year (yearly Discourse mandatory maintenance) :smiley: . Looks like gmail finally has killed off it’s 3rd party gmail access. Not that I care, because of Discourse I’ve had switching to mailgun on my bucket list for, well, forever. Which of course has gone “pay only”. …

There are sites partnered with SendGrid who can offer up to 12k emails/month for free, even nowadays. All you have to do is have them provision the account for you and ensure access controls are in place on the partner’s side (only 1 login on the SendGrid site, accessed via the partner) Not sure ho…

For what it’s worth, I have been using MXRoute since I started this thread, and it works flawlessly.

Got things to work, not the way I wanted initially but there might be one thing I misread. Short story, mailjet worked on the first (mailjet) try. Thanks for the help and/or a good forum with solutions. ▶ Summary

[image] Peter_Backgren: Takes forever (a bit like launcher rebuild app), It, in fact, does do a rebuild app. [image] Peter_Backgren: wondering what the fastest way to change app.yml and test outgoing mail would be? Edit the file, ./launcher destroy app ./launcher start app

Way faster, thanks. Is this one of the “everyone that knows it uses it” or some sort of “should do the trick, but rebuild is safest”? Yupp, searched the site for how often this was mentioned… :smiley:

It’s easier to provide one solution that will always work. And the number of times that the trick is useful is fairly small and just when it works is hard to explain.

I recommend you to consider DigitalAka and Mailgun for their reliabilty and deliverability. I have used them and its very good. also they are very affordable. highly recommend

Honestly, I don’t know why Brevo isn’t recommended more. Great interface, simple and clean. The 300/day on the free plan is pretty great too, since others are only 100-200 a day.

Which ones? Mailgun is 100 per day (for the free plan).

This site has a sketchy vibe. Cheap website, typos, wrong social media links on their contact page… Wouldn’t go for it.
