Ask HN: Email Service Provider For Web Apps
5 points by lutescen on April 15, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 9 comments
I know all about companies such as Mail Chimp and aweber but they seem more for email campaigns to a group of people. Yet with each public app I create I need to add email capabilities for password resets, confirmations or notifications. Is there a company that I can integrate with that would do this for me.

So I would just call an API method saying, send an email to this email, with this template (that I preloaded in their system) and this data. Then I could use the companies email tracking capabilities, unsubscribe and other list management functionality without having to do it all on my site.




thanks, looks great.



I use SES (from C#) and it integrated very painlessly and seems to work flawlessly.

Between EC2/S3/Cloudfront/SES Amazon offers a very compelling suite of products that no-one else has replicated. Sure they may not be absolutely the best and certainly not the cheapest, but the single vendor benefit is great.



postmarkapp.com is amazing. They have API's and also standard SMTP provider.


Thanks, certainly looks promising. I have a few to checkout now.



very close, but Mailgun are programmable mail boxes, I can easily do the coding for sending emails etc, I already have that, I was more after the list management and list statistics/tracking when sending emails.
