After looking at ten other transactional email service providers, I picked Mandrill for the Rails Prelaunch Signup example app built for the RailsApps project. The benefits are the generous free plan, the easy integration with Rails, and the integration with MailChimp. So far, so good, though a few users were confused when they tried to use the same API keys for MailChimp and Mandrill. If you want to see how to set up Rails with Mandrill (and MailChimp), see the Rails Prelaunch Signup example app: http://railsapps.github.com/rails-prelaunch-signup/ http://railsapps.github.com/rails-prelaunch-signup/.
