Ask HN: Sendgrid account suspended without warning?

5 pointsby aquarkabout 5 years ago
This morning our sendgrid account (with 4 years of good standing paying $x,000 a year) is showing as suspended. No change in spam or bounce rates (both tiny). No communication from them.<p>Their support page is showing as &#x27;email only&#x27; due to &#x27;volume&#x27;.<p>We have customers with events today that are severely impacted by this. I hate to use HN as a support channel but they don&#x27;t provide a lot of choices.

Fortunately their support was able to get back within a couple of hours (much faster than the 3-5 days listed on the page) and reactivated the account.<p>Looks like a mis-fire of the automated suspension system which seems to be a huge problem of these types of systems when you are on the receiving end.

I&#x27;m afraid HN can&#x27;t help on that.<p>But it does recall me a concern we had when we moved our email service to SendGrid. If there&#x27;s something wrong with the third party, we&#x27;re doomed... :&#x2F;
