Although I’m a huge fan of Google Apps and Gmail it’s not for everyone and every business may have different needs!
That’s why I think it’s great to see other options out there in terms of technology and services! If you’re in the market for a new mailing system, try SendGrid.
SendGrid transparently handles DKIM, SPF, ISP rate limits, content inspection, bounces, and spam reports to help users achieve higher deliverability. You can get it setup in a matter of moments.
You can keep your own software with your own customer data on your own system instead of a fully hosted email/CRM solution like Aweber, etc.
You can even login to their system via SMTP, no programming required.

We use SendGrid for our SMTP gateway in MemberHub.com. It’s a huge help so we don’t have to manage our domain’s reputation as we send lots of emails from various domains. Great API.
