Mail Sends #4

Open rtablada opened 11 years ago

rtablada commented 11 years ago

Looking at what to go with for transactional emails what were you guys thinking?

All of them have SMTP access as well as native PHP stuff. But I'd go with SMTP at first. I can create an extra account on my company email and have it alias to all of our emails.

My bet would be Mandrill. I'm biased since I know the guys over at MailChimp, but their free tier is a bit better. They have a bit more of a weird algorithm for mass mailing (I can explain the metric a bit if we want to go there).

Basically, 12k messages/month and you start with up to 250 messages/hour for control over the speed. It will cache and start releasing the next hour if we go over.

Sure if you know how to use it - let's use it

It's just a simple SMTP SaaS service. So it works out of the box with Laravel and SwiftMailer
