Ask HN: Service for sending emails from your app?
To this point, we've been using Gmail. But we're reaching our limits now and getting errors and need something that will scale. Any suggestions? Thanks.
- ryanelkins 17y agoWhat kind of app is this? Web/desktop? Are you saying you basically need an smtp server to send emails through? How many emails are you trying to send in, say, a day or an hour?
