Can I use Mail Gun to send out newsletters (bulk letters)? We are currently using Mail Gun to send transactional emails (for example, confirmation emails). It works great!
We watch Campaign Monitor and Mail Chimp for weekly email newsletters. Are these services more suitable for this kind of task?
One thing that I find more convenient with Mail Gun, with their APIs, is much easier to work with. Especially when sending "dynamic" / more personalized emails. For instance:
Hi Foo
Your videos are 1,291. You have 214 comments.
Yours faithfully,
Awesome web
On the other hand, the user interface analytics / reporting provided by Campaign Monitor and Mail Chimp makes reading much easier, especially for those who are not technical. The same goes for creating campaigns and templates.
And it's quite simple to use with Rails. Because templates are created using ActionMailer, and not from the user interface (as seen from the campaign monitor and Mail Chimp).
Are there any benefits deliver-abilityfor newsletters from using one of the services that I should be aware of?
