Good point. I looked into SendGrid, but went with PostMark afterwards. It was easier to set up.

The reason, if I recall, is that SendGrid made emails come out with a "sent via SendGrid" header, which I didn't like. To remove it, I'd have had to sign up for a paid deal with SendGrid. PostMark let me get things working first, then decide whether to pay or not.

When implementing Sendgrid, I think I spent about 30 min reading over the DNS setup docs and 30 min actually creating the records. I'm no sysadmin, but I thought it was quite easy.

Also, they have a free account which allows you to send 200 emails per month. That would allow you to try it out and then decide that Yes Virginia, it is worth the money. :)
