When deciding on architecture, I always start with asking what are my key priorities with this project? to minimize cost = run my own mail server to maximize learning = write my own mail server to maximize flexibility…
I like MailGun (10k/mo free) - if cost is a significant issue for larger volume why not do the work to send directly from your server?
I use a mix of services including Gmail, Rackspace, and MXroute http://mxroute.com
http://MXroute.com offers email servers with a reasonable pay by the GB plan but forwarding is limited http://ClouDNS.net offers dns service that has email forwarding (no accounts, just forwarding)
