Sentopia.net (https://www.sentopia.net) here, we do not charge per subscriber or contact, just deliveries, and can be as low as $0.0007 :)

Founder of Sentopia.net here... I actually agree, we would love to integrate a better campaign editor in our platforms, since we have our own delivery engine and don't rely on Amazon SES.

Sentopia.net founder here, I don't believe this is just Mailchimp, we have received a warning from Paypal entitled "Cryptocurrency warning." where it states "(...)we noticed that your activity involves the trading or transfer of crypto currency which is prohibited under our Acceptable Use Policy. As this is not permitted on the PayPal platform we ask that you cease any activity that results in the trading or transfer of crypto currency."

We are a digital marketing business.. we don't trade or transfer any crypto, so this can only be because several of our customers have sent blockchain related campaigns and the campaign title shows up on Paypal's product description on checkout. If this is the case, then it doesn't seem fair at all.

Edit: we have no plans to restrict crypto related campaigns for our current or new customers.

2018 or not, the site appears severely broken without enabling JS, instead of asking the user to enable it

Sentopia.net founder here. I agree that the codebase could be better, a lot better.. but we have made heavy modifications and it's not a problem anymore, I should add that we have tried to work together with Sendy.co developers but seems our emails are being ignored. Sendy is a platform, and a good one at that. but our value is on our SMTP server pools and their reputation as others have mentioned. We are always looking at new platforms like postal, that we can jump on board with if it means a better user experience for our clients.

and what is the value of: "I Don’t Care If a Flight Attendant Almost Hit a Baby"

It is a purely selfish post that obviously focuses on the "I" of a narcissistic and maybe sociopath mind. What does it add to the broader value of the issue?

This should not be on the front page.

hey now ...

"I’ve always been advised to avoid these “sub-communities” like /r/javascript and Hacker News. Maintainers say they are filled with assholes who don’t know what they are talking about, angry idiots shouting at everything and everyone, cesspools, giant piles of trash burning in the wind."

I find that HN has one of the most sober comment sections I could ever wish for, it's certainly better than Reddit. I mostly come here for the comments.

Thank you! I used apiDoc (http://apidocjs.com/)

There are more than 2 :) But since most use the free plan, the 2 I was referring to make up almost 80% of the monthly income.

I've launched Sentopia (https://www.sentopia.net) as a side project and it is still easily making over 1K with just 2 medium sized clients but it is not passive income, requires some maintenance & customer support but still very much worth it.

This year we're launching new features and a simple API: (https://sentopia.net/apidoc/)

We've also been using Sendy and I agree, the code is far from perfect and we have spent countless hours either fixing some issues or adding much needed features, making it actually usable for SaaS (sentopia.net), will need to move away to something better in the near future, this maybe a good start!

Very good indeed!

Wasn't the "de facto standard" set by QMail back in 1998 ?

I don't think so, depends on where you live and the laws that apply there. It's probably easier to seize a home server than it is to hassle a company to divulge its contents.

Depends on the error the DNS handler 'name.nospy.so' would throw at it.

The reason for SMTP servers being better off in a proper data-center is not really due to port 25 being blocked at home, it's the entire infrastructure that assures reliability, so if your power goes out or your home router decides to die or your ISP is having issues, etc, you would start losing emails right away.

EDIT: I understand SMTPs are resilient but it also depends on the type of error they get back, even then it can't be expected that all servers keep retrying for long periods of time or even handle triple bounces. So you 'could' start losing emails right away, is a better way of saying it.

The DownThemAll extension, pretty great.

new ready to use templates have just been added, feedback is welcomed!

True, BUT, with Sendy one is not married to SES, any SMTP server can be used.

Nice Sendy alternative, the auto responder looks pretty cool. Good job

I don't understand the essence of this movement, by all standards it is the mobile lobby who should be to blame.

Killing Flash is like killing the Concorde Airplane, it just means it is too advanced for its time.

Everyone who knows anything about Flash and HTML5 knows that in terms of CPU resources HTML5 is still far far far FAR behind on what the Flash plugin can do... yes, even now.

I agree, this isn't a failure when trying something new, we have done this hundreds if not thousands of times. It should have been a routine mission, failure should not be accepted.

simple, clean and useful. I'm trying it out. Good job!

You can even host a Tor relay on Hetzner without issues, but if you receive a SPAM complaint, you'd better reply within the 24 hours they give you...

That's true, EU Data protection law protects Data Centers IN the European Union. Germany signed this as well. http://www.kimeralive.com/privacy

A couple of years ago, traffic cost was still high compared to the US, but nowadays it's only a bit more.

I have many servers in Germany and I am able to offer 4 TB / month per VM at no extra cost.

"Whiteout Mail is the first email solution with end-to-end encryption based on open standards"

- Is this different than using something like Roundcube over HTTPS ?

the SPAM percentage does seem overly optimistic...

+1 for friendly AI (even with its narrowness)
