If you plan to send very large volumes:
- Warm up your sending domain/IP gradually
- Keep lists clean
- Use double opt-in for marketing
- Monitor bounce/spam complaint rates
- Separate transactional and marketing streams
If you want, I can also give you:
- a comparison table,
- the cheapest option, or
- a recommended stack for your app based on your volume and email type.
