Select and register for a transactional email service #33

SendGrid, Mailgun, and Postmark will each do the trick. Compare pricing and ease of use, sign up for one, and integrate it.

This will help to close #26.

With Mailgun, the first 10k emails are free each month. Seems like the tie-breaking factor.

Registered. It's fast and easy, no credit card number required. (Again, for >10,000 emails/month. I don't recommend deploying this without entering a credit card number.)

After registering, it's necessary to add the domain name where the site lives, and then add some DNS records. This, of course, can take a while to populate, thanks to DNS caching.
