Transactional Emails / Services & CloudFlare question

[mikelowrey]

Hello,

- Is there a way for to know how much email I will be sending from my forum to then calculate the amount that I will be spending?
- Out of all the services available what would you consider the best, Pepipost is being recommended now, what say the hive?
- If I get CloudFlare, do I need to get a separate SSL or the CF one will be enough?

Thank

How many users? And how busy is it?

If not very is the answer to both then you won't exceed the basic packages of mail transfer.

I recommended pepipost because they give you a credit for opened emails.

I'm just as quick to recommend sendgrid which I'm using at the moment.

Cloudflare ssl is just fine. There is no need to get another ssl cert.
