Sending emails from Django App

Question

We are a growing Django app that is currently using Google Apps to send email. We are hitting the maximum limits of email sending and need a better solution. We prefer not to have to manage our own email servers and the easier the better. What is the best, easiest, and cheapest way to send a large amount of email?

• We have looked at Postageapp but they require you to use your own SMTP server.
• We are considering App Engine to send email but it will require a lot of configuration to get it to work correctly.

What can we use to quickly fix this problem?

Answer 1

I don't know if it's possible to get a beta invitation atm, and I haven't used it myself, but I like the looks of CritSend.

Hopefully we'll see more competition for services like this and I wish I'd discovered it before going through all the hassles of trying to get a domain cleared for delivery into hotmail, yahoo, etc. (this goes beyond just adding spf/domainkeys to your DNS).
