Ask HN: How do you do your email delivery?

We use Postmark. The service is super easy to setup and very reasonably priced. We changed from Godaddy about 6 months ago because of how traditional servers queue email. With postmark and other services like it, there is no queue. This has a great impact on customers that are ready to signup and use/buy your products/services right now. Postmark makes it easier for us to capture that business.

It took me a long time to find a great one but thankfully my guy at Rackspace hooked my up. I now pass this on to you. http://www.postmarkapp.com/

I got the impression through reading the Postmark site that it's an API only solution.

Is that the case?

I'm not sure the amount of pain I currently experience is enough for me to switch to a provider that expects me to build my own dashboard.

If they do have a dashboard, what on earth does it look like? Without signing up I cannot seem to find it documented or a demo dashboard to play with.

It is an API service and will take you about 25 minutes to do the initial set up. Here is why its worth it. Once you set up the server its done. It takes 2 minutes to set up a new email address (support, general, sales, etc.) But after the setup, you don't have to worry about anything. If they update, your service is not effected and that leaves you free to stress about more important things. Big or small company, it is well worth the initial upfront time and will save you a great deal of headache in the future.
