Mike Perham's Sidekiq was what I modeled my own business, EmailEngine, after. I took my decade's worth of expertise in email protocol implementations (I also run the open-source Nodemailer library) and built an email gateway app m

Well, I for one, hope that email stays as complicated as described in the post. Otherwise my project that simplifies access to email accounts ( https://emailengine.app ) would get no traction :D

Email hashes are not very useful as additional headers are added to the email every step on the way. Even if you send an email to yourself, the copy in the Sent Mail folder has a different hash than the one in Inbox.

The “secret sauce” for deliverability is _volume_. If you don’t send enough emails from your servers to each major email provider (at least 100 emails per day to each of these) you do not even show up in their reputation scoring systems whi

I also run a few popular open-source projects (eg. Nodemailer) and what grinds my gears the most are the support requests disguised as bug tickets. It takes so much time to handle these – first to verify that this in fact is not a bug, and
