That's quite a savings. Has anyone else done this? Do you see more bounces due to using the AWS servers from using SES? Ending up in more people's spam folders?

- forgot-my-pw 9y agoIn general, other services will be cheaper than Mailchimp. I use mailjet, which has both transactional and marketing email service. Don't see any difference in bounce rate.
- a2tech 9y agoNope. We're seeing only upsides (well except MailChimp's online email designer is light years ahead of the alternatives). One of our huge wins (other than price) was delivery times-we saw a distribution time for 300k emails drop from 12+ hours window to only a couple of hours.
- cuu508 9y agoI've done something similar for my side project which needs to receive emails. My side project is a monitoring tool, and inbound emails is one way of sending "I'm alive" messages to it. Link in profile. I started with Mandrill inbound emails. Friendly UI, easy to understand, works as advertised. Then I moved to AWS SES for inbound emails. I wrote a small Lambda function which dissects the email and forwards it to my HTTP endpoint. With usage growing, SES was getting expensive as well. So I wrote a SMTP server in Go using this: https://github.com/mhale/smtpd https://github.com/mhale/smtpd It's very basic, doesn't support SSL, but seems to work OK in practice. My inbound email handling is now basically free.
