    <p>I think <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine" rel="noreferrer">GAE</a> might be <em>worth trying</em> for your use case. It certainly should be cheaper than CM, and might be cheaper than SendGrid depending on how many recipients you e-mail.</p> <p>Your volume of e-mails easily fits within GAE's limits. GAE allows e-mail to be sent to 2,000 recipients for <em>free</em> each day. Since you are willing to pay, you can send mail to up to 7,400,000 recipients per day. (<a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Mail" rel="noreferrer">Quota details</a>)</p> <p>If you go over the daily free quota of 2,000 recipients, you would have to pay <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html#Billable_Quota_Unit_Cost" rel="noreferrer">$0.0001 per recipient</a>.</p> <p>This means you could e-mail about 860,000 recipients for $80/month (that works out to 28,666 per day [including 2,000 for free per day]). If you are e-mailing fewer people, then GAE may be cheaper than SendGrid. If you plan to e-mail more, then GAE will be more expensive.</p> <p>Another advantage: with GAE, you may not have to worry as much about batching e-mails since GAE only charges per recipient.</p> <p>Disadvantage of GAE: GAE also bills for other resources like CPU, bandwidth, etc. Depending on how you send e-mails and their content, you may or may not require more resources than GAE provides for free. You'll have to try it out to determine whether this will be an issue or not.</p>

    1. COI think for us, the cost of GAE would be negligible compared to CM and even SendGrid. However, the remaining question I have is deliverability. The primary reason for using SendGrid or CM is that they can take care of the signing of your email with domain keys, worry about bounce mails, ISP differences, etc. which means you can get through the spam filters. Is this something that GAE takes care of?

    2. COUnfortunately, I don't think GAE will be able to take care of your deliverability concerns as well as SendGrid [advertises]. In particular, GAE doesn't provide any documentation which suggests that it tries to avoid violating ISP rate limits or anything fancy like that. However, it still might be worth trying out app engine for a few mailings to see if it works acceptably for your needs.

    3. COI think I'll give GAE a shot, the pricing is too attractive. For future generations: AuthSMTP is another alternative to SendGrid, but they don't offer anything in terms of analytics out of the box.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
