Not surprised. Pretty much all transactional email services have done this and I have have used mandrill, sendgrid, sparkpost so far. Perhaps it is not cost effective to provide such high tiers or not worth it due to spammers.
- jhloa2 7y agoI worked at one of these companies a few years ago in the department that dealt with spammers. The volume of attempted spam from these free (and low tier) plans was absolutely staggering.
- Carpetsmoker 7y agoAnything that allows sending emails with custom content will attract spammers. We aggressively limited the free accounts, and that still attracted spammers who would just create loads of news accounts to send out emails; we eventually put a stop to it by limiting it to 25 recipients in total, after which they finally gave up (before, it was 25 emails with a max of 10 recipients each, which meant 250 spam emails).
