I recommend moving to SendGrid. You can get 12k emails a month for free and do transactional and newsletter emails from the same platform.

#12I am dropping them like a brick. I wrote a very detailed post on how to add the dkim to your DNS on digital ocean for mandrill that everyone likes. I got it all setup for my domain, but I just do not have the volume to justify a paid plan at this point.

#13What I really don't understand is why it seems like I must pay for MailChimp in order to pay for Mandrill. Wtf?

#14Double True, previously all emails have said:
Current users will have until 4/27 to merge their accounts.
Now it's 4/27 at noon and they are disabling sending through mandrill only accounts.
Just icing on the cake.
I love(d) MailChimp and love(d) Mandrill.
Signed up clients for both of them, always recommended them.
Never again will I recommend MailChimp for anything.
Can't believe they won't honor your pre-purchase. I would demand a refund.
Sounds like they don't want to be in the email business.

#15Moved to Postmark and couldn't be happier.

#16The problem with SES is its poor deliverability. It might be useful to send 10K mails with SES but after that it is mostly useless.
SES works fine for me. I smell a sock pupet, you sure you don't work for Mailchimp?
