We're happy customers of https://postmarkapp.com/ https://postmarkapp.com/ They only do transactional emails, not bulk like newsletters or such. No free tier and you can only start sending after proving you've done API requests (thus filtering non-developers I think). They put customers on alert ("you will loose the ability to send emails" when spam report rate is over 0.02%. Support was fast and friendly when we needed it. Edit: Apparently there is a free tier (100 emails per month). We went for the $10 for testing, it's cheap.

Postmark user over here as well. I operate a WordPress hosting company, and have all servers, and WordPress itself set to send emails with them, using their SMTP servers with Postfix on the servers, and their API with WordPress. Never had any issues. Another option is Mailgun, which I used for other projects in the past. While I did not have any issue with them, if you look around, you might see that the experience is not shared by everyone. Postmark offers faster delivery times, and better deliverability in general, but it is not like Mailgun is terrible at that. With Mailgun you spend less money, which might be something to consider depending on your sending volume — little differences in price pile up fast. On the other hand, Mailgun has been involved in data[1] leaks[2] before. Personally, I value quality support — Postmark has an excellent support team —, and delivery times a lot more than price, which is why I chose Postmark, but it is great to have options.

Thanks. I just contacted their support with some pre-sale questions and had a very quick and good answer. I'll give them a try!
