        What is Amazon SES?

The service integrates with other AWS services, making it easy to send emails from applications being hosted on services such as Amazon EC2.

        What is Mailgun?

        Mailgun is a set of powerful APIs that allow you to send, receive, track and store email effortlessly.

        What is Postal?

        Postal is a complete and fully featured mail server for use by websites & web servers. Think Sendgrid, Mailgun or Postmark but open source and ready for you to run on your own servers. Postal was developed by aTech Media to serve its own mail processing requirements and we have since decided that it should be released as an open source project for the community.
