Mail.baby by interserver

Abdullah

Just found this
https://mail.baby by interserver

The best part is Pay as you Go, $0.2 per 1000 emails send, no per-server charge & outbound mail filtering.

I have been waiting for the alternative to mailchannels Jarland mentioned about since sometime...any updates @jarland ?

Looks like mail.baby is just their own IP subnets they’re warming and falling back to mailchannels.

Mail baby charges you $1 per month to keep the account active. This is a nominal amount just to make sure every user on our system is actively using our service. Pay for what you use billing model of 20 cents ($.20) for every 1000 emails sent.

even for a minimum of $1 that affordable, will test them in the future for my little project

I’m kicking the tires. So far so good.

Sorry, I don't promote child labour.

I let the big bois handle my emails (MXRoute)

Seems nice and pricing is good too though I fear the prices might increase in near future?

There's also a $1.00/month account 'alive'-ness fee.

AWS SES is $ 0.1/1000 mails .
If my math is not completely off, that's 144,000 messages/month where SES is cheaper than their minimums?
Edit: actually, break-even with SES volume would be further ahead. Not doing the linear algebra now; Anyone can figure it out.

SES also charges for data transfer, which could potentially be an issue.

More than possible.

As someone said on the other forum, the domain name was created on 2020-09-11, so this is a very fresh product, still hot from the oven. They first need to build a customer base.

Someone else said that they appear to be using MailChannels for all mail at the moment. (I don't know whether this is the case.)

I thought they just used Mailchannel as a fallback.

I can afford $30 every 3 years without even having to think about it so I just use mxroute, although full disclosure, I don't yet use mxroute because I have had far more important things to do than switch mail servers over all over the place (I have a lot too update) recently so instead I am an idiot paying mailchimp/mandrilapp $40 /month instead.

I should set a goal of being on mxroute within 2 weeks.

Every mail I sent fell back to MailChannels

SES changes messege id and return path, which may break some apps. And this seems to be a MailChannels alternative, not SES anyway. Also SES requires you to change the sending domain to amazonses.com or sub.yourdomain.com which some might not like

Using mxroute for my daily usage, its good.
For DA relay, may use mailbaby.

So mail.baby's backend is served by Nanny is MailChannels?

Be careful with this - the same thing is happening to me for two years already

Too late I already forgot about mxroute. Because it just works
