It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on here, but I’ve been having a serous battle with a project that I’m working on that requires the use of a Mail Processing system to accomplish it’s most important task. I heard about MailGun first in the beginning of last year (2014), and it had me hooked for a good few months, only to come to the end of core development to find that mail processing through MailGun is temperamental to say the least. It has me with arms up in the air, and if I had any hair on my head today, I definitely wouldn’t have had any left now.
So I was hoping someone has had experience with using such systems and if we had to compare between MailGun and MailChimp’s Madrill, which should I have gone for? Looking at Mandrill now, they seem so much more stable and robust from their front ends, but when it comes to processing mail on a managed hosted dedicated environment, would it be worth my while to add Mandrill support to my application.
I would really only have to write a new mail processor that works through Mandrill’s API instead of the MailGun API, but it’s still going to be code that I have to re-write, which I’m probably not getting paid for because the work that was done on MailGun has already been paid for… those bitches
Anyone with some understanding and experience in the field are welcome to provide some advice and direction.
