We're about to integrate with messagebus.com but I don't know enough about their service yet to give the big thumbs up. They're run by very cool people, so all lights are green so far. I'm pretty close to adopting a "startup-only" policy for service providers. The support we've been getting from MessageBus and WePay (especially WePay!) has been nothing short of astounding. You'll never get the time of day out of Amazon or PayPal. Despite Google's silence on this particular issue (which I suspect is due to a questionable commitment), the support here in this forum has been really good - I'm not sure if you realize it, but the people answering questions in this forum are often the actual engineers developing features. As far as email goes - personally, I'd rather Appengine shut down the email API and put those developers to work on something else. Email is something that many other providers do well, and there's no particular benefit to having it built in (getting two bills is truly a "first world problem"). I'd rather Google focus on the hard problems which can't easily be implemented by third parties - spatial indexes, pull queue grouping, transactional task deleting, etc. These enable whole new solution domains. Think about the major new features that the GAE team has rolled out in the last year... the HRD, XG transactions, Backends, Exploding Index Repellant, Pull Queues, Memcache CAS, Deferred Tasks, Cursors, Async Datastore Operations... every time one of these features comes out I think "How did I ever write code without this?" That's what I want more of. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

Keep the current basic email to help newbies play and test, but minimize devoting any further significant resources and possibly relabel that api as beta/experimental or at least as not destined to receive lots of attention right away, to be up front about it.

The email needs to be sorted. No email sent to a hotmail account from the app engine seem to arrive!

Re: [google-appengine] Re: What happened to the promised reliability improvement for email delivery?
We are sending out about 1.8 million emails per month. SES or sendgrid would be way to expensive. (~$1000). We do it from a single server (2ghz, 4gb) hosted somewhere outside of google. It costs us about $60 per month and we have a great delivery rate (spif, dkim, dedicated ip and also very important: we handle all email bounces in appengine and dont send any further email to an address if it bounces) Our delivery rate is quite high, way beyond GAE, except for hotmail. I can highly recommend building setting up your own email server and just add a simple php script to expose a http api. Took me about a day to setup and its 20x cheaper then sendgrid. It's been running for almost a year and i never even had to login into the mailserver. it just runs super smooth. I'm monitoring it with prodeagle.com Cheers, -Andrin On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 2:53 AM, Vivek Puri wrote: > 'Cause we like startups! > > On Dec 1, 8:19 pm, voscausa wrote: > > Why Sendgrid and not AWS SES.

Server Beach. Pick a Canada CoLo Pricing about what Andrin said. Being in Canada you screw up and violate some Cann Spam law. Or if you do so intentionally. Being in Canada will prevent your system from just disappearing, and having your domain stolen. At least for a little while. They have a 100% SLA (.5% better than Google's) Because they are hard core like that. I have coupons if you need them. I run quite a few servers there.
