Postmark introduces easy inbound email processing for all accounts
Wouldn't it be great if there was a standard JSON representation of an email, and that multiple providers (SendGrid, AWS SES, MailJet, ElasticEmail, etc) all then provided such an interface.<p>So not only could you choose (swap out very very quickly) your outbound provider, but also your inbound provider.<p>After the thread the other day on outbound email, I ended up choosing MailJet who have been wonderful with the questions I had when I hit their new member ceiling within the first few hours.<p>The things that convinced me on MailJet were real-time outbound stats and meaningful data (recipient + subject), API of status notifications (who bounced), and the fact that they do campaign emails at a cost so low that MailChimp ruled themselves out (one of my email lists has over 23,000 members).<p>I need inbound handling (currently using /etc/aliases and piping), but would love all the reporting and info which centralisation from an external provider could deliver.<p>My only concern would be resilience. Email is really good at re-delivery when your end is down or something prevents delivery, would a HTTP REST interface offer the same level of re-try and timeouts to ensure it got through eventually. Would the provider queue for me?
