Best email API?

[jmon]

Hello,

I need to send automatic emails when my app takes pictures. There can be up to 200 emails sent per day to different, new email addresses.

I am using Zoho Mail API for the moment, but their servers are down sometimes, and they block my account sometimes because I send too many emails to different addresses everyday. They consider me as a spammer, but everyone taking a picture with my app agrees to receive a confirmation email.

What are my options?

I need:
- to send HTML confirmation email.
- I do not need to store the email somewhere (emails are stored in my database). That could be a 1 time email.
- I just need the API, no email interface.
- I need to send an attachment (~ 1MB) to each email.
- It needs to work in CHINA (no gmail!).
Thank you for your help!

I recently have been using https://www.sendinblue.com/. 300 mails free a day (used to be 600). A very clean, easy and well documented REST API.

You can either send via a template you create in their tool (with variables), or do a transactional email providing the html yourself.

I'm using sendgrid for several years now. I don't remember the exact pricing however they are reliable.

Thank you, both solutions seem very good.
A friend of mine recommends MailJet. So I will test it for a while, the free plan is good for what I need at the moment:
https://www.mailjet.com/
I'll report on my experience later!

[edit] they compare it to SendInBlue: https://www.mailjet.com/sendinblue/
