Has anyone got experience in running postal in production for a genuine(non-spam) product? What's the likelihood of emails not reaching inbox with DKIM/SPF and how did you verify that your instance IP was not previously used for spammy stuff and not been blacklisted?

We self-host Postal and it’s worked quite well for us. We are a heavily regulated organisation and have to send several millions of transactional emails every day (as mandated by financial regulations).

IP reputation has nothing to do with Postal and has to be managed separately; have the records setup properly, don’t send spam, and keep an eye on public blocklists regularly.

Hi Kailash, Great to see you here; I've been listening to your episode on 'Software at Scale' podcast[1]. What you and your team have achieved at Zerodha is commendable, Congratulations.

Couldn't have asked for a better recommendation for Postal, Time to save some money on emails. Thanks.
