Honest opinion on API first mail hosting platform

#1
Hey everyone,

I'm Pavin Joseph, founder and Systems Engineer at Mailcheap (mailcheap.co). Signed up since I saw a post on IndieHackers that to get the "Hard Truth" I should "launch on HN", so here I am...

Mailcheap has been in business for almost 5 years now but the platform was completely overhauled last month after more than an year of work on an API-first mail hosting solution.

I appreciate any and all feedback :)

I'll point them to your service.
