(Unrelated to the OP - but I've been so frustrated by this for so long that it's worth the [flagged])

A product like this is exactly what I've been looking for with pretty great pricing.

The one thing that this (and most providers) are missing is making email easy to test. I'm about to launch a product where email is critical, and there's no way to send an example email (with a non-test email address) to your service and see that you receive it, without it being sent to the To address.

Better yet, the few providers that do support it charge as if it were a real email, when none of the delivery costs exist on their end (there are infrastructure costs, sure, but there is none of the reputation risk nor need for clean IPs, the reason people use transactional services like these in the first place).
