For high-volume email sending with webhooks, the best choice is usually an email delivery service (ESP) built for transactional/large-scale sending rather than a regular inbox provider.
Good options
- SendGrid — very common for high-volume sending, good webhook/event support, easy API.
- Mailgun — strong for transactional email, robust webhooks, good deliverability tools.
- Amazon SES — cheapest at scale, very high volume, webhooks via SNS/CloudWatch setup.
- Postmark — excellent deliverability and webhook/event tracking, but more focused on transactional than bulk.
- SparkPost — solid for analytics and event webhooks, built for scale.
What to look for
- Webhooks/event callbacks for delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, complained, unsubscribed
- Rate limits / throughput that match your sending volume
- Dedicated IPs if you need consistent deliverability at scale
- Bounce and complaint handling
- Suppression lists
- API reliability and retry support
Quick recommendation
- If you want easy setup + webhooks: SendGrid or Mailgun
- If you want lowest cost at high scale: Amazon SES
- If you want best transactional deliverability: Postmark
If you want, I can recommend the best one based on your:
- monthly email volume,
- transactional vs marketing use, and
- whether you need bounce/open/click webhooks.
