"If what they're doing isn't working, tell them to do something else." The other two can't be any worse. I didn't know that the web server was unable to send email. That precludes the easy solution. It looks like google is just passing the buck to SendGrid/Mailgun/Mailjet who then allow GCE customers to send whatever they want, so that any abuse that would have taken place on GCE now takes place on those three platforms. Now you need two servers to do one thing. Paying extra for a dedicated IP with SendGrid/Mailgun/Mailjet would solve the problem (by separating the trac emails from everybody else's junk), but it's just stupid that you'd have to pay extra for a second copy of what you already have at GCE. It's also possible that Mailgun/Mailjet are better at preventing abuse than SendGrid, and that there would be no problem with them, but as "bulk email for hire" services I'm skeptical. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
