Hey, Mailgunner here Yep, we were trying not to disclose too much information on how we catch them, however I agree that how we fight them deserves a separate post. Some things to share: * Naive approaches (hey, just plug in spam filter) do

We've always wanted to build a programmatic email server for developers. To be fair we were a bit naive when started and had no idea what was ahead of us. We knew that sending was hard, but we've no idea how hard and messy it actually is.
