We've got more in store for this feature set, but we're really excited about this as a start - we use it ourselves at beanstalkapp.com and I know that a number of people HN were using the beta.

I'm happy to answer any questions, or field any ideas you might have.

Fantastic! I'm very excited to try this out. I've been using postmark to quickly build out my MVP for a new site I'm working on. This is just the other side of the equation and I am very eager to start playing with it. Integrating with their nodejs library was literally as simple as putting the library in the right place, adding the api key and calling the function. Could not be simpler.

As much as I like the simplicity of Postmark, their pricing makes it very hard for me to justify using their service. Sendgrid and Amazon SES are charging $0.10 per thousand. Postgrid is 15 times more expensive.

If your volume is ginormo this might not be the right solution for you. But as someone who simply needs the functionality and as minimal an install footprint/learning curve as possible this is really hard to beat. Hopefully my startup will take off and I will have to look long and hard at a replacement.

Also, MailGun is $1 per thousand. Which seems to offer a similar proposition.

I've been using this amazing service http://mailnuggets.com for a while now (6 months or so) and the guy is absolutely fantastic (I emailed some ideas and he implemented them :D) buuuut I use Postmark for outbound email, it would be nice to consolidate everything into one account. Will give this a try. I love postmark :-D

Google apps + configured filters + inbound email processing = awesome possibilities.

I'll point out that we have no "account minimums", only the $1.50/1000 email credits for both inbound and outbound that never expire.

Also, we're home to many happy customers that are sending very high volume - we offer them bulk-credit purchase rates as low as $0.50 per 1000 when buying 2MM credits at a time or more.
