When you rely on email messages from your website to get delivered; incoming our outgoing. You want to be able to receive and/or deliver that message. It could mean a new customer, a new project or keeping a customer.
So what is the solution? Use a separate email service that specializes in delivering email with high delivery rates and a way to track it. Check out services like SendGrid, MailJet or Mandrill by Mailchimp. Here at Koomohost, we use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES).
