Oh cool, my project is on HackerNews! I was wondering about the sudden uptick in user signups, and then I checked HN... I'm Scott, feel free to ask me anything about the service.
What happens if you die, get frozen in carbonite, or some other circumstance that prevents you from maintaining the service?

What provisions are in place to prevent someone from opening an account, use it to spam and then putting your IP block on a shitlist with large email providers like Gmail?

Hey there, cool service. I signed up immediately. >You cannot have more than $50 in credit at any time. Just curious, why a $50 limit? I'm the weird kind of guy who likes to pay years in advance. If possible, please consider raising this limit to $100 or even $200.
Risk. To the provider, prepaid fees are a liability.

I looked at your About, Security and Privacy pages. I see that you're using AWS, but which region/country/jurisdiction is that located in? Is it safe to presume that since the company is an LLC, the company as well as the AWS country are the U.S.?

If a plane crash into your house while you stop the service for maintenance, how will the service be back again and can we access our mails? Sure, i use IMAP and have local copy and backup. But Murphy's law, my Laptop die at the same time and my backups were stolen.
Also, I generally don't stop the service for maintenance, unless I need to upgrade the database engine.

Do you support DKIM/SPF etc? Are these still useful?

Scott, nice service! Two notes: 1. I don't know if it's the social media kiss of death at work, but I'm getting lots of SSL errors trying to load your site. It's a crap-shoot whether it works or not right now. 2. Seeing this post, I posted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27711124 . If you don't already (did I miss it?) it might be worth tossing up a page or an item in your FAQ teaching people about how the…

#288This looks great! Sign up for the free trial was pretty slick. I'm not sure how well known Klarna is outside of Europe (I know they launched in the US), but that would be my preferred method of payment. Or.. anything but Paypal (and giving my CC information)

> Also, most of the issues will not be with obscure email servers, they will be with Outlook and Gmail. When you send email, you will never know if your email will be delivered to inbox, delivered to spam folder, or blackholed entirely. In my personal experience, over five years of running my own business and personal email entirely and another decade and counting since of running PBXes that directly send voicemail m…
Hi Wolrah I'm starting a new company where email connection to my user base is essential. From time to time I also need to sen all users certain notifications which looks kinda like marketing email but isn't. Could you contact me as I would like to ask your opinion on the configuration that I'm trying to set up. I would also like to discuss your experiences. If isn't too much, you can reach me by email at jari@itsell…
