Amazon Simple Email Service - Amazon's cloud based email sending service

Hi everybody, my first recommendation here :) This has really been a good service, and I'm surprised nobody else has picked it up. We were using a different email marketing service, but some of our email wasn't being accepted. Their tech support kept telling us it was our fault for having sent out spam, even though we never did that. I thought there was a problem with their email sending server being banned, but they absolutely denied. Then I found out about this Amazon web service and switched to it. Guess what? Not only is it a lot less, but our emails were getting delivered. It turns out that Amazon is a lot more careful with keeping their email sending servers clean (for obvious reasons!) than the email marketing provider.

This + a self-hosted newsletter builder has been saving me literally hundreds every month compared to MailChimp. Not to mention I can use it for my app's transactional emails too. Can't recommend it enough
