What's your deliverability with Amazon SES?

drdrake

I am moving to Amazon SES from Sendgrid (because it's cheap as hell) and I am interested to know if it's worth it.

Thank you.

I was using sendgrid for my private clients but recently sendgrid to yahoo is blocked not an single message is going in (Note : these all are transactional mail nothing marketing)

But SES will deliver most email and will not get blocked for an single provider as far as my exp goes as they have some amazing way of keeping everything sane

Amazon SES works great for us, no deliverability issues, and it's quite cheap... been on Sendgrid before, but they often had blacklisted IPs issues.

I think you'll be pleased with SES moving forward.

The only problem with amazon ses is that it forces me to send only a limited number of emails in a second. I can send as much as I want with sendgrid.

There is throothling too with sendgrid. You can request to upgrade the hourly rate with AWS via support.

I got blasted pretty bad this week by Sendgrid spam campaigns that scrape from WHOIS. Luckily they respond in under 24 hours with usually kicking that person off SG.

Yeah but if i have configured many apps with amazon, maybe a few apps will not be able to send emails at a specific time because the limit could be used by the marketing application.

Anyone else?
