a couple of questions #72

Nice work. This app is interesting. I have a couple of questions. Is this app still actively maintained? Using this app, the emails are sent directly through the API and not the SMTP server, correct? What is the benefit of using the API vs the SMTP server? Faster?

Thanks

Using this app, the emails are sent directly through the API and not the SMTP server, correct? Yes, it uses the mandrill REST API.

What is the benefit of using the API vs the SMTP server? Faster? The biggest benefit would be that you can take advantage of other functions than sending email, such as inbound email and webhook support.
