Nope, but I prefer Mandrill and switched more stuff over to them.
Go with Amazon SES or Mandrill. I mostly use Amazon, have never had an issue.
Same here. MailGun's been "alright", but honestly they messed up bad when they stopped offering mailboxes.
I don't think they are blacklisted anywhere as RackSpace is supposedly keeping a close eye on their IPs.
I'd recommend that you switch to Mandrill like @wych said. They are the best in the industry. SendGrid are not too bad, but they are far behind Mandrill when it comes to user friendliness.
We use Mandrill for DediCube, but I thought I'd try out MailGun. To Mandrill with BoltVM!
Got some spam via MailGun just yesterday, was considering blacklisting it, but then hesitated that it might block some legitimate mail. Sooo thanks for confirming it's shit, will block it now.
we use mandrill too, it is not flawless, some people reported problems, but very few and far between.
What, they didn't pay their racket?
+1 Amazon SES or Mandrill
I hate Mandrill from the client side. I can't whitelist domains because Mandrill sends mail under their own subdomains with a reference to the original sender.
Anti-spam servers and email clients will look at the
senderand not thefromheaders. This prevents my anti-spam from using DNSWL, DNSBL, domain history, whois lookup, etc. to decide on ham trust. This also prevents my mail client from automatically trusting images in a email (I have to accept the risk every time).I've never had any emails from Mailgun goto spam, but I've had dozens from Mandrill.
Doesn't Mailgun's headers look infinitely cleaner?
Except that Mailgun is blacklisted by quite a few people.
At least Mailgun allows people to whitelist select domains. It is impossible to whitelist Mandrill without whitelisting every user on Mandrill. That was my point, Mandrill is great for the business side, but Mailgun is better for the client.
The last email Boltvm sent me hit none of the blacklists.
I've never had an email from mailgun blacklisted. Mailgun seems easier to work with, the mandrill dashboard just seems too clustered.
It bounces around IPs, so some are blacklisted while others are not.
It's not great, but I'm not in there often.
Mailjet , mandrill doesnt deliver properly to yahoo ( yahoo stopped accepting ) . According to my personal experience I dont know about others.
Mandrill delivers great to yahoo. If it wouldnt, then at least 10% of our customers wouldnt get our emails.
That's only if the sender chooses not to set up a tracking/return-path DNS record. The difference between Mandrill and Mailgun is that Mandrill leaves that optional while Mailgun requires it.
Both Mailgun and Mandrill are good options, in my experience. No fair to blame the mail provider for a sender's refusal to configure things properly. Personally, I like not having to set up an unneeded extra subdomain when using Mandrill for temporary development stuff.
