Anyone used elasticemail?

I currently use send grid but there next package is far to expensive compared to elastic mail - has anyone tried them or can recommend a good, reliable and well costed SMTP relay.

    I just started trying them out. So far so good - plus they give you a warmed-up IP with a SenderScore of 100, if you buy a dedicated IP. And their support is very quick and responsive which is important with an ESP.

    Sendgrid has really gone down the toilet, I subscribed to GreenArrow Monitor which is a seed-list of 500+ emails that generates reports showing inbox, spam box, or missing. Multiple Sendgrid sends showed it getting completely blocked by AOL and spam-boxed at Hotmail and Yahoo. (If you're serious about getting emails delivered then buy Monitor.)

    Mandrill is by far the ultimate ESP, they inbox almost 100% according to tests and they get very high open rates on mailings but they are EXTREMELY strict about maintaining ridiculously low spam and bounce rates so I only use them for my newest six months' of subscribers and other providers and/or my own server for the older ones.

      Looks like everyone loves Mandrill. I am with MailJet right now and had a hard time provisioning.
