AWS DENIED EXIT FROM SANDBOX
Hi everyone, as from title Amazon denied one of my customers the exit from sandbox. What are other similar services with pay-as-you-go pricing?
Did you try many times or only once?
They denied to me once, then I explain my use-case and opened the heaven for me... lol
Jose Luis Duron only once, today I tried again. I'm waiting their response and in the maintime looking for solutions
It depends on the volume and target audience. You can use MailGun with the Flex plan, SendGrid, Socketlabs, or any other MTA in the cloud.
Some even have lifetime access (search Emailit in Appsumo. They look good).
Sella Yoffe Thank u! I'll give it a look
Setting up EmailIt, hope it's gonna be stable!
Normal pricing is only 2x to 3x vs Amazon SES. I only got the AppSumo $59 for 50k emails/month, anticipating to pay normal prices when I go beyond.
I just want to make sure this is worthwhile, getting solid service and deliverability. Otherwise, the low price is just a shiny object and I could focus on Maileroo instead.
Lee Busch working well for me! I've settled with it. The pricing is just too attractive.
It faces some hiccups. I must've seen about one brief downtime every other week so far. I'll get FluentSMTP notifs via Telegram to monitor if something's up. Then report to the founder on Discord.
They run their own, small data center infrastructure dedicated only to EmailIt, giving them much control and ability to run at lower costs.
I got the Tier 2 Appsumo Plan which is more than enough for my current and growing needs. Should I hit my tier's limits, I'm more than happy to buy their credits, about $1.6 per 10k emails based on current pricing.
I guess the main risk is we're relying on a very small team. You get direct access with the founder on Discord and he has to be awake to hear outage reports and fix it.
For now, it's suitable for my needs and represents nice cost savings. I hope they sustain and grow. Otherwise, I'd be looking at Maileroo
As a deliverability professional I'm working with many smtp servers. Both maileroo and Emailit works fine. It most likely depend on your data quality and if you have consent to send to those recipients.
AWS keeps denying until you're frustrated. If you don't mind waiting, keep trying a few more days.
Nazir Himel Thanks, been denied twice. I'll keep resubmitting.
One thing I read about ... I'm in The Netherlands (Europe) but the company I'm helping is in the US and my Region (data center), according to Amazon SES was Europe. I read somewhere that this could be a problem so I had my colleague, who is in the US, do the resubmissions of the applications. We'll see.
