    Funny thing about emails : it appears that the main difficulty isn’t sending them, rather it’s how to do it without being detected as spam.

      Isn’t that part of the reason people use Sendgrid/Mailgun?

      The only time I’ve had to deal with bulk mailing, those seemed to do everything I expected, and emails mostly weren’t marked as spam.

        Yeah I don’t know much about it. I just know our company has an internal API and the project owner was telling me about all the shit they have to do beyond just sending emails. What a headache!
        (don’t get me started on developing all that in-house. It’s “historic” code)

          I’m sure it made sense at the time. I’m still salty that I can’t do much by telneting to port 25 and typing SMTP. But I do appreciate sender validation, so I guess it’s worth it.
