发送群发邮件而不会疯狂（SendGrid？cloud？） [英] Sending mass mail without going insane (SendGrid? cloud?)

问题描述

我们目前正在出口我们的清单，然后使用Campaign Monitor的Web界面来创建和发送通讯。活动监视器是伟大的，但它太贵了。发送一封电子邮件到整个列表，费用为105美元，发送较小批次的费用要比每个广告系列收费更贵。

我有两个要求：

1. 我不想担心弹跳，域名密钥，黑名单，ISP或任何这种bs。


2. 我想要一个尽可能便宜的解决方案。

我最好的打赌似乎是使用SendGrid ？）。看来他们给你一个SMTP服务器，他们担心要求1中的所有垃圾。实际上如何用编程方式发送电子邮件？循环通过列表和mail（）？似乎这样不是很有效率。如果您有SendGrid的经验，请分享。这还不是很便宜 - $ 80 / mo，但是比CM好。

或者，我应该开始关注云作为解决方案。看起来会更便宜 - 至少我会支付我正在使用的东西，但是滚动自己也是一样吗？我必须担心要求1中的垃圾吗？

或者我完全缺少一些其他更简单的解决方案？我真的需要帮助可视化我的选项。

解决方案

我认为 GAE 可能为您的用例值得尝试。它肯定应该比CM便宜，并且可能比SendGrid便宜，具体取决于您通过电子邮件发送多少收件人。

您的电子邮件容量很容易符合GAE的限制。 GAE允许每天将电子邮件发送给2,000个收件人免费。由于您愿意付款，您可以每天向最多7,400,000个收件人发送邮件。 （配额详情）

如果您超过2,000位收件人的每日免费配额，您必须支付 $ 0.0001每个收件人。

这意味着您可以通过电子邮件发送约860,000个收件人，每月80美元（每天可达28,666次[包括2,000每天免费]）。如果您通过电子邮件发送较少的人，那么GAE可能比SendGrid便宜。如果您计划更多地发送电子邮件，那么GAE将会更贵。

另一个优点：使用GAE，您可能不用担心批量电子邮件因为GAE只收取每个收件人。

GAE的缺点：GAE还为其他资源（如CPU，带宽等）收费。根据您如何发送电子邮件及其内容，您可能需要或可能不需要比GAE免费提供更多的资源。你必须尝试一下，以确定这是否是一个问题。

I need to send regular newsletters, as well as smaller batches, to a 10k strong mailing list, programmatically.

We're currently exporting our list and then using Campaign Monitor's web interface to create and send the newsletters. Campaign Monitor is great, but it is simply too expensive. Sending just one email to the entire list costs us $105, sending smaller batches is even more expensive as they charge 'per campaign'.

I have two requirements:

1. I don't want to worry about bouncing, domain keys, black lists, ISPs, or any of that bs.
2. I want a solution that is as cheap as possible.

My best bet seems to be using SendGrid (or something else?). It seems that they give you an SMTP server and they worry about all the crap in requirement 1. How does one actually use that to send email programmatically? Loop through the list and mail()? Seems like thats not very efficient. If you have experience with SendGrid, please share. This still isn't terribly cheap -- $80/mo -- but better than CM.

Alternatively, should I start looking at 'the cloud' as a solution. It would be cheaper it seems -- at least I'd be paying for what I'm using, but is it the same as rolling your own? Would I have to worry about the crap in requirement 1?

Or am I totally missing some other simpler solution? I really need help visualizing my options.

解决方案

I think GAE might be worth trying for your use case. It certainly should be cheaper than CM, and might be cheaper than SendGrid depending on how many recipients you e-mail.

Your volume of e-mails easily fits within GAE's limits. GAE allows e-mail to be sent to 2,000 recipients for free each day. Since you are willing to pay, you can send mail to up to 7,400,000 recipients per day. (Quota details)

If you go over the daily free quota of 2,000 recipients, you would have to pay $0.0001 per recipient.

This means you could e-mail about 860,000 recipients for $80/month (that works out to 28,666 per day [including 2,000 for free per day]). If you are e-mailing fewer people, then GAE may be cheaper than SendGrid. If you plan to e-mail more, then GAE will be more expensive.

Another advantage: with GAE, you may not have to worry as much about batching e-mails since GAE only charges per recipient.

Disadvantage of GAE: GAE also bills for other resources like CPU, bandwidth, etc. Depending on how you send e-mails and their content, you may or may not require more resources than GAE provides for free. You'll have to try it out to determine whether this will be an issue or not.
