Been looking around for the best email service (ideally free) that I can use with WHMCS for outbound and inbound importing for primarily tickets, invoices, so on. Hotmail has a limit that the importer can easily hit every 15 minutes, and google is a paid service.

What do you guys use or recommend for such services?

We use Amazon SES, and couldn't be happier.  80k+ emails a month, and the bill is typically 5$/mo or less.

Also - Google's Paid service still has outbound restrictions.  Something like 5k per day, and the cost is still a good deal higher than Amazon.

Amazon SES for email... Interesting.  Wasn't familiar with it, now am looking into it.

What is the pricing like with mandrillapp?  It gets mentioned semi-often.

Mandrilapp is relatively inexpensive, I'm just not entirely sure if it would work for inbound stuff with WHMCS piping. Haven't really looked into it super seriously though.

I can confirm it works perfectly fine for incoming emails. WHMCS uses mandrill as outgoing server whill your current email host for incoming.

I'm ideally looking for a complete service for both directions though.

Google apps or your own mailserver :). In all honesty, for incoming, google apps does more then enough :)

Heh, not trying to plug for my own service, but check out ShoveHost Email Hosting... we use it for our email and it's been rock solid... WHMCS piping works perfectly.

It's $2/month/box with 25GB storage.

I'll admit right now it's just resold Rackspace Email but we're cheaper for larger quanitities, accept more/different payment methods, and don't have a minimum commitment (Rackspace direct forces you to have five or more mailboxes).

Use SendGrid as jhadley already suggested. Only retards use anything other than that wonderful service.

Hell, they fired Adria Richards so they're a good company in my book.

Have you had a look at zohomail? I don't know about it's limitations, but I have used it without much problems some time back.

We use Mandrill to send emails to customers via WHMCS, and are thinking of switching to SMTP.com.


For our actual email boxes, we use Zoho free.

We use Mandrill to send emails with WHMCS and SolusVM and it has been rock solid. A lot of nice suggestions on here. Might have to check them out one day.
