What email server do you use for your application's signup and login system?

Receiving a 550 Error, and wanted to increase the speed as well as figuring out how to not end up in spam.

    https://postmarkapp.com But any transaction email focused service can work well. Try to avoid general email providers becuse their delivery stats usually much worse than the transactional ones.

    Sidemail.io (I'm the co-founder), it's plug'n'play with best practises for delivery & email UX already baked in :) has no-code email templates & API for transactional emails. Plus, you can deliver your newsletters and automate email sending from there as well.

      Dude this platform is awesome. It's just a little expensive for me right now with lowest tier at $60/month.

      I'll check it out!

        Thanks! :) we can't offer premium service and keep up the rapid development if we charge low. No VC money in the bank. The reason we built Sidemail was that transactional emails were so much pain when working on our previous projects actually (I wrote about it on IH before). There's plenty of other really cheap (or even free) email services out there, compete with those based on pricing makes little to no sense to me.

    AWS SES you won’t find anything cheaper....

      Thank you. Nice to hear that AWS quality is the cheapest

    Mailgun has been my go to for these kinds of transactional emails. Paired with Django-Anymail (Python/Django stack) it's solved this problem for me and I've yet to break their paid requirement on a project.

    Mailgun and AWS SES are the best two for transactional emails of this nature.

    Appliku switched to SES couple months ago, not having any problem at all since then.

    Python/Django.

    I love the fact that their bounce/complaint/delivery reporting is super easy to setup.

    I've always found https://www.mailgun.com to be excellent.

    You should try AWS SES

    AWS SES is the best for Transactional emails

  10. 1

    We use Amazon SES.

    AWS SES. You have to take a bit more control than normal, but the template langauge is OK.

  12. 1

    umm not sure if I'm answering the question, are you talking about activation and reset password stuff? I'm using AWS Cognito. It handles them.

  13. 1

    AWS SES. It's very cheap and I haven't had any delivery problems.

  14. 1

    I use Sendgrid. Can't complain!

  15. 1

    I am using https://www.mailjet.com/ both for marketing and transaction emails

    siteground, looking to switch to mailgun

    Mailgun would be my go-to option. They have a powerful templates which can be customized quickly and great API docs. Their free tier is pretty generous too for most use-cases.

  18. 1

    I'm using Postmark and Sendgrid on different projects. No complaints with either of those.

    Thoughts on using Namecheap's emails?

      You mean Private Email?
