I switched from SendGrid to Mailgun and am so glad that I did! Yahoo began rejecting our transactional messages from SendGrid. I switched to Mailgun and all transactional messages are delivered 100%. Mailgun was very easy to setup and test. I encountered one provisioning error, which Mailgun had fixed within ONE hour on a Saturday evening! Outstanding service. I highly recommend Mailgun and wish we had used it from the start. Thank you, Mailgun!

Mailgun has great ability in email delivery. It’s also really reliable as I have not heard my website users complaining about not receiving emails. The sort of new intuitive design makes me like Mailgun even more!
