Let's kick off this month’s newsletter with a behind-the-scenes look at what our Engineering team has been up to. Postmark is growing and we’re processing more emails than ever before. That’s really cool. But do you know what’s even better? We’re still delivering email faster and more reliably than our competition.
We never want that to change. But we also have to be realistic about the capabilities of our current setup: If Postmark continues to grow at the rate we’re seeing today, we’ll hit our capacity limits at some point. To stay ahead of that growth, we needed to give Postmark some bigger pipes! 🔧
Alex, Systems Engineer on our Engineering team, shares how we got that done.
Remember when we made a comic about email? Well, we made another one! It’s about a frog. And a dog. And about being stuck in an email spam filter prison. Strange, we know. But if you like tales of redemption, then you’ll love this story.
Will Ruthy Ribbit, the only honest sender in a pound full of nasty spammers, manage to escape? Let's find out. P.S: This comic was inspired by one of our favorite movies, featuring an actor with the most calming voice. The movie aficionados among you can probably guess what it is. Can you think of other movies that would make a great email story? "You've Got E-Mail". "The Dark Mode Knight". Or what about "Casablankspace"? Let us hear your ideas!
Sometimes you’re trying to get an email delivered to a recipient—but it never makes it to their inbox. Instead, you get a note from the mailbox provider telling you that your email bounced. But what does that mean? In this guide, we explain what email bounces are, what’s the difference between hard and soft bounces, and what you should do when your emails bounce.
Two-factor authentication (also lovingly referred to as 2FA) is a simple and highly effective way of improving the security of your Postmark account. Postmark has supported 2FA for years, and now we’ve made it easier for account owners to put this safeguard in place for their entire team.
What’s an email API? What should you look out for when picking an email API provider? And what makes Postmark different from other providers? We touch on these questions and more in our most recent blog posts.
Turn email replies into blog comments with Postmark’s Inbound Streams Ben Nadel wrote this fantastic, in-depth blog post about using Postmark Inbound to allow his blog readers to comment on posts right from their inbox. Read how he did it. How to migrate from Mailchimp to Postmark + Temporal Mailchimp was getting expensive, so Roelof Jan migrated his newsletter to a new whole workflow powered by Postmark and Temporal—and he shared his approach on his blog.
That's it for this month. Stay safe and healthy, friends! đź’›
