I have a site and need to send our members notification emails like account created, daily specials, reminders to log into their accounts, message when they receive a message on the site, etc...

The content in some of these emails is 'adult', but there are no nude images. So I need a smtp company that is fine with this. Would be great if the smtp company also provided a panel to setup newsletters (something like getresponse or aweber) where I can setup the email series or users will receive over the next couple weeks after signing up.

If you can help me out with this plz shoot me a skype: heiko.viceoffers

Or post here! cheers!

I'm checking out their site. Looks like they use interspire which I could easily setup myself on a cheap linux mailing server. I'm guessing their value comes from their IP's?

Are they already warmed up and inboxing when setting up a new server with them?

YNOT, use or did use: https://www.smtp.com/

And you're right, you could set it up yourself and it would be cheaper. As far as I could tell, YNOT were just a middleman for smtp.com so would have very little (or nothing) to do with IP allocation and warm up.

You could actually do what you're trying to do with: https://sendy.co/
Cheaper than interspire but works only with Amazon SES who charge $1 per 10K emails.

If you're looking to use something like interspire, I would suggest using https://www.sparkpost.com/ as the alternative to smtp.com - not only are they cheaper, they are also very hands on with their reputation management.

We originally started with Inspire but honestly that is really just the user interface at this point. There is so much more involved than just a copy of Interspire.

Amazon SES doesn't allow adult.

This is just made up. There is nothing that states this in their AUP and I've emailed them to confirm in the past.

As long as you're sending legitimate emails to legitimate subscribers and maintaining your list you can use the SES service. This is the case with most providers. I've used smtp.com and Mandrill, I use SES and sparkpost. Have not had any issues.

please do.. cause if they do not allow adult for SES, then they don't for hosting either, as the restrictions seem the same?

RazorSharpe

I'm not sure about hosting but when I emailed them about their SES product, they said it was fine as long as my lists were clean going in and maintained. Monitoring bounces, spam complaints etc.

Sparkpost said the same thing and they're the people behind port25 and momentum:

This is a few years old but since I'm still using SES without issues:
