How do you send transactional emails?
Outlook.com blocked my transactional emails sent via sendgrid.com. From what I learned, outlook.com used a simple per IP reputation system. Since I am on a cheap shared IP plan of Sendgrid, and there must be someone sending dubious email with sendgrid, therefore, the situation is hopeless.
Outlook.com also blocked IPs from major cheap hosting companies. The good thing is that if you file a complain with them and show them proof that you do own the IP, then they will unblock it on a case by case basis.
How do you guys send transactional emails, and what are your experiences? So far I’ve tried to avoid SES, or anything from AWS.

I’ve used Postmark to good success previously (https://postmarkapp.com/), and would definitely use them again. And I had the same problem with Sendgrid that you encountered.

Highly recommend Postmark. They only do email and they do it very well. Excellent dashboard that lets you get answers when you’re under a time crunch. Used others in the past but Postmark is by far the nicest.
Also, they guide you through getting it properly set up with DKIM and Return-Path. Removed a lot of the guesswork for me. Working at a startup I’m juggling a million things at once and Postmark just brought me joy and respite – not more problems.

SendGrid gradually deteriorated in the last few years. Seems everyone is migrating to PostMark lately, including people on HN.
