I have a growing website and I don't want to deal with setting up a mail server to send emails through. Currently I am using Google Apps and sending emails via a Java program that I wrote. However, it seems Google has certain restrictions against that.

Is there a list of email server providers out there. One where we can point our DNS MX record and send emails via an API?

Are you using the free Google Apps or GA for Business? Because if it's the free one, you have a 500-per-day email quota. – ionFish Aug 30 '12 at 17:13

If you're using the free Google Apps, they impose a 500-email-per-day quota.

Upgrade to Google Apps for Business: http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/ for "unlimited" email. It will save you the trouble of experimenting with new companies and having to migrate MX records.

It seems Google Apps for Biz has a 2000 outgoing email limit for each user and they do not support bulk emails out via an automated system -- currently they disconnect our connection to the host, I worry the same will occur via the Biz services. – somid3 Aug 30 '12 at 17:22

Thanks to @ionFish I went ahead with Amazon SES -- thanks! They have a great system for emails -- within a few days they opened my bandwidth to 10,000 emails per day, more than I need. Awesome service, thanks @ionFish.
