You are not kidding. We have had numerous issues with them lately. Their servers go down. API endpoints that are supposed to return json return cloudflare gateway error HTML instead... We are investigating moving to SendGrid right now. We REALLY need to find a reliable email service. It has been a shit-show and our clients are frustrated.

We (postjobfree.com) use Amazon SES.

It is reliable and costs $1 per 10,000 emails sent.

I work for SendGrid as an engineer. Let me know if I can answer any of your questions.

Not the post you were replying to, but one of our biggest gripes while trying to work around Mandrill outages was the lack of idempotency keys in their API. Presumed uptime improvements aside, what does SendGrid provide in terms of idempotent requests?
