Ask HN: Email delivery service that works?

9 points by RichardHeart ↗ HN
Are they any premium services that can just actually get an email to my customers?

I've got about thousands of signups that haven't gotten an email in 6 months because it's such a hassle trying to actually get them delivered. The product they care about is finished being launched in just 12 days. It is insane to me that email service providers like AWS and sendinblue actually require you to "warm up your ips" as though you were a spammer...

I'd pay thousands to actually get delivery. Is there some white glove VIP service somewhere?

Never had an issue with https://postmarkapp.com/ As part of the signup you need to do an API call, I think they want to make sure a technical person signs up.

I use and love postmark app. Great API and their team is on top of their game.

Until your spam rate goes above 0.2%, then the same team will chase you. We fixed the issue on our end and I'm glad they enforce the threshold.

Sendgrid or Mailgun are great. Never had an issue with it.

Send grid with dedicated IP if you can afford $90/mo.

Non-dedicated Sendgrid is a constant battle with spammers constantly nuking their shared IPs.

Early days using it in a more integrated fashion with my MVP, but I love postmark. Outstanding support, great delivery record, fine online teaching materials.
