Congratulations. Also, TC, sigh. If you can't find someone to articulate the value proposition for not hosting one's own email, I can help (+). Saying "young devs can't figure out email" once makes you sound ageist, saying it three times makes you sound stupid. + Email makes businesses a lot of money. Delivery optimization is a full-time job. Securing a new email server is highly non-trivial. Existing options for controlling first-party inboxes and outgoing email with a web application rely on brittle shell scripts and Deep Magick. There are operational inflection points in administering email servers; navigating one incorrectly means the business dies until addressed; many quickly quickly growing companies will hit three to four of them. (Some popular web app genres can hit three to four within weeks of launch - coupons or social anything, for example.)
