Might want to try out PostMark or AWS SES instead.

I don't get what problem is this solving compared to :AWS SES , SendGrid , JetMail etc... and the hundreds of others provider in this domain.

Why is this better than sendgrid, a part from pricing?

verdverm Mar 10, 2020 View on HN

We use mailgun and have not had an issue. It's often cheaper than sendgrid too

Angius Sep 14, 2021 View on HN

Another +1 for Mailgun, I'm using it myself and haven't had any issues

Doesn’t something like Send Grid or Mailjet work?

chrisked Nov 6, 2020 View on HN

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

Take a look at SendGrid if you haven't already.

Have you considered mailgun ? It is rock solid and affordable

I second for Mailgun. Works perfectly well.
