While very impressive, always nice to save a lot of money, I hope someone can explain why SES is not good enough many times as I seen here on HN before. There are supposed to be issues with deliverability from SES that many can't accept and so they use other services (of which, the main one, I'm blanking on) that handle sending mail better.

> There are supposed to be issues with deliverability from SES that many can't accept I don't know about this. At my previous employer we used SES to send service emails to our users on two domains (Office 365 hosted) and we didn't notice any delivery issues. Our volume wasn't huge though, above 10k but under 20k emails per month. That being said, Amazon will really quickly suspend your SES account if your bounce rate is too high. They also don't keep hugely detailed logs, so restoring service generally relies on you keeping good logs from your app/MTA and figuring out which email addresses are bouncing.
