Hey everyone,
I’m having trouble with email delivery for my app. We’re using Mailgun to send account verification and password reset emails, but it’s super slow. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes for an email to arrive! That’s a big problem, especially for password resets where the token expires.
Does anyone know of a more reliable email service that can deliver messages quickly? I’m pretty new to this stuff, so any suggestions would be great.
We’re running a Node.js backend if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help!
Have you considered Postmark? I’ve found it to be exceptionally fast for transactional emails like auth and password resets. In my experience, delivery times are typically under 10 seconds.
One key advantage is their focus on transactional email only, which means better infrastructure for time-sensitive messages. They also have a Node.js library that’s straightforward to implement.
While it may be slightly pricier than some alternatives, the reliability and speed have been worth it for my projects. Just ensure you follow their guidelines for setting up your domain correctly to maximize deliverability.
Remember to monitor your email metrics regardless of the service you choose. It can help you identify and resolve issues quickly.
I’ve been in your shoes before, and email delivery can be a real headache. Have you considered using Amazon SES (Simple Email Service)? I switched to it a while back and saw a significant improvement in delivery times.
SES integrates well with Node.js and offers high deliverability rates. Plus, it’s cost-effective if you’re sending a lot of emails. One thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need to warm up your IP address to build a good sender reputation.
Another option worth looking into is SendGrid. They have a robust infrastructure and provide detailed analytics, which can help you troubleshoot any delivery issues.
Regardless of the service you choose, make sure to implement proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. These can significantly boost your email deliverability and speed. Good luck with your app!
