• Ask HN: What is the best WordPress plugin for transactional email service?

  Are you looking to send emails through the server directly ? You should never do that. Instead, you first need to choose an SMTP provider (mailgun, postmark etc) and then use a WOrdPress plugin that can use that SMTP.

• What to do about outbound emails customers and vendors don't get?

  One of our staff was following up on orders to vendors via phone, and several said they didn't get our email with the PO. Someone said that sparkpost.com, Netsuite's email sender, was blacklisted.
