Very interested guys. Have you been searching for a service like this for a while to take this headache away. We are pushing out about 30k emails per month – and are purely a PHP shop, so if there are spaces left in the beta, would love to get in on the action – and willing to help write PHP classes to assist with the API integration.

This is what we’ve been looking for the last couple of weeks for a few of our bigger clients. Can’t wait for this to hit beta!

Sounds cool!

Can this also be used as an email marketing solution (for high volume lists)?

@Chris Thank you very much for the response. I am more interested in this now! :-)

Hi Frederick,

They are quite different. Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp are both email marketing services where you send and track bulk campaigns. Postmark is API based and used for sending transactional emails in your web apps. It basically replaces your old SMTP server with some nice tracking tools and a great infrastructure.

How does this or would this integrate with Wufoo and Campaign Monitor or Mailchimp? How would it benefit these platforms?

How does this differ from jangosmtp (exactly this, google it, I suspect their SEO is better than the service ;-) or the many other newsletter / API email services out there?

I’ve been researching exactly this for a client for sometime…

great idea! we were actually debating about creating the same web service some months ago. hopefully the pricing structure is favorable to make it compelling for developers not to build their own.

Will there be open/click/bounce tracking? Those are still of interest for transaction emails.

@adam Someone volunteered to create a Python plugin. We hope to have it soon after launch.

@John Feel free to email me at info@wildbit.com.

Any idea what the pricing structure would look like? If you can’t publish that yet, could someone contact me to discuss it?

Are y’all working on a pure Python plugin? This seems like it would be a really good fit to a Google App Engine app.

Interesting. Look forward to learning more. Certainly have a couple of projects with notable email needs that a solution like this may have or will come in handy for.

Thanks! We’ll have as many code examples as possible from the start. The easiest ones for us are Rails and .NET, which we will create in house. We’re looking for some community help for the others.

I’m pretty excited about postmark! It’s been a pain managing e-mail from my app. If it’s as useful as Beanstalk (haven’t tried newsberry yet), it’s gonna rock. Y’all mentioned PHP, Java, ColdFusion… what about Rails?
