Mailgun Becomes an Independent Company

Thus begins the piecemeal partitioning of Rackspace. It was pretty obvious that would be the ultimate result after being taken private by Apollo. To be sure, there was much inertia within the company to let go of services that weren&#x27;t profitable&#x2F;weren&#x27;t the future of the company anymore even before the acquisition.<p>All the while, you have a leadership that continues to say &quot;Everything is OK! This is good news overall for the company! Let&#x27;s continue to work hard in solidarity with each other! We&#x27;re one big happy family!&quot; Its important for people (in general) to see past that kind of management bullshit, look at the numbers (profitability, customers etc.) and make a very informed decision about their future, lest they get caught unaware by &quot;restructuring&quot;.<p>Disclosure: Obviously, a former Racker. Loved the peers I worked with and the company culture. Management was (is?) a total shit-show. I was lucky enough to see the future and take a better job before the company went private.

I agree, Mailgun is fantastic. However, their lack for 2 factor authentication is seriously worrying.<p>The only other issue that I do have with them is that the &quot;history&quot; for messages has a really stupid encoding. Basically, when a message does fail, or get marked as spam, we have a web hook set up. This works great. However, when looking at the message source, it has a dumb encoding on carriage returns, and colons. It&#x27;s not the biggest issue, but still annoying.<p>We ended up making a little appliance to resend failed emails for our sales guys. Basically, this had to have the code &quot;Replace(&quot;=\r\n&quot;, &quot;&quot;).Replace(&quot;=0D=0A&quot;, &quot;&quot;).Replace(&quot;=3D3D&quot;, &quot;&quot;).Replace(&quot;=3D&quot;, &quot;=&quot;);&quot; instead of just being a straight copy paste. Ideally we could have a &quot;resend&quot; button. In the console.

I&#x27;m a Mailgun customer and CEO of Jungle Disk (that I bought from Rackspace a year ago). As a Mailgun customer I&#x27;m really excited about this. For comparison at Jungle Disk we&#x27;ve already doubled the R&amp;D investment in our first year and will continue to grow it over time. I believe the Mailgun team will be able to really accelerate what they&#x27;re able to do too. Secondly, I&#x27;m happy to have more neighbors moving to our area of town!

Mailgun&#x27;s a solid service. They&#x27;ve got the best inbound handling of all of the services out there in terms of letting you apply rules before the messages hit your servers.<p>I haven&#x27;t looked at their outbound service in a while because I&#x27;ve been so impressed with Sendgrid&#x27;s dual DKIM CNAME setup so that they can handle automatically rotating your DKIM keys without bothering you...that it&#x27;s really hard to even think about trying somebody else.

Maybe this means Mailgun lists feature will be friendly to DMARC? It was such a great solution for domains not really requiring a mail server for inbound mail, that is, until everyone started caring about p=reject (well, except for Gmail - I&#x27;m still not sure how much my mail has to not conform to standards before they refuse to deliver to even a spam folder).

Congrats from a happy - and paying - customer. Sending around 500K transactional emails&#x2F;month without an issue.<p>Hope they add support for tracking against SSL&#x2F;HSTS sites.

&gt; If you are a current customer, you remain in good hands. Nearly every Mailgun employee and all of leadership is continuing with the new organization and excited about the mission ahead of us.<p>...except Bob over there, but he&#x27;s kind of a grumpy old man anyways, so you can just ignore him.<p>Pro tip: Just write &quot;The team is very excited&quot; or something like that, its saves that tiny bit of awkwardness.

Rackspace spun off both Cloud Sites team and Jungle Disk last year, along with shutting down a team or two. Seems they&#x27;re focusing on slimming down.

i&#x27;ve used mailgun for several high-volume clients and overall it works - but the feeling I got when working with their API, their docs, their UI and their support is a product in maintenance mode. There is a lack of polish, a lack of effort, and a lack of overall robustness. But, it works.<p>I hope the spin off lets them focus on improving the service and the surrounding experience - I definitely would rather they succeed than go belly up. As it stands if someone pops up with similar offerings, I&#x27;d definitely check them out. But mailgun isn&#x27;t impossibly far off from creating an exceptional product. The question is: with this change, will they?

I&#x27;m a big fan of Mailgun, but haven&#x27;t actually sent enough mails in a month yet for them to actually charge me. I wonder what % of their users are the same?

&gt; prior to closing<p>This gave me a mini-heartattack...I guess I don&#x27;t think about VCs and investments as much as the average reader of these things.

I see a lot of comments about alternatives and such. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;postmarkapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;postmarkapp.com&#x2F;</a> is really nice. I&#x27;ve used them for years in all of my personal projects and it has always Just Worked™.<p>I&#x27;ve avoided MailGun &amp; SendGrid entirely for various reasons.

I&#x27;m glad they learned the importance of support from RS and internalized it. I have noticed an increase in quality of support over the past couple months.

I really, really like Mailgun! and can&#x27;t understand why they don&#x27;t get more &quot;press&quot; or mentions on the forums, etc. It seems only their competitors are ever talked about.<p>Yet with Mailgun everything always works, the API is super simple and so is integration. And their free tier lets you handle 10,000 msg per month!!<p>Maybe they can use some marketing, because the product is great!

Having used both Rackspace and Mailgun and had a great experience with both I&#x27;m sad that it&#x27;s come to this.<p>Good luck to Mailgun! DFTBA

I hope this helps them improve. The lack of decent error messages and support caused me to switch to SparkPost.

Can anyone shed some light as to why companies might choose to spin out a division into a separate entity?

This is awesome news for Mailgun customers, kudos to Will and the Mailgun team for pulling this off.<p>Mailgun has one of the best inbound&#x2F;outbound API combinations available, great for companies with a strong developer team.

This is great news and puts my Mailgun-related fears about the Rackspace acquisition to rest. I look forward to actually paying for Mailgun&#x27;s service soon.

Has anyone done any comparison between API based email services like AWS SES, Mailgun and SendGrid?

Does this mean we can now identify and block Mailgun&#x27;s IP block to reduce spam?
