Ask YC companies: What are you using to send emails?

6 pointsby terpuavor 17 Jahren2 comments

Sending automated emails (verify email, share notices, etc.) is necessary in many apps today. Was wondering if you rolled something in-house or outsourcing to a provider.

Making sure emails are delivered into an inbox is also a pain with SFP, etc.

What are you guys using? Thanks in advance.

For Merecal (http://merecal.com/) we're using Qmail and our web hosting provider supports DomainKeys, etc. However, we're still seeing emails being sent to the Spam folder in Yahoo! Mail and even not arriving at the destination at all for email addresses at hosts like @comcast.net.

Great idea for a thread. I'm looking forward to the responses.

Also, related question, which ones are free?

Are most other people using gmail smtp as a workaround?
