I guess we need to do a better job on our messaging because Mailgun does have Mailing Lists[1] and recipient<>event level analytics[2] that you can aggregate by just tagging messages. We are working on improving the GUI in the control panel for marketing folk, but for now developers can enjoy these for 0.1x cost of typical email marketing services now through our APIs.

I would be glad to take another look at Mailgun. Can you easily do segmenting (i.e. Only send this message to people where Job Title == 'CEO')? I think that may have been the dealbreaker when I last looked. Exposing the user's mail agent in analytics would also be nice.

And although I wish I could say all I need is a kickass API, I actually will need a GUI suitable for marketing folks too. Happy to followup privately since my requirements may be slightly unique.
