I have deployed my Beta App to Heroku and am reading their articles about sending emails. I don't imagine I will be generating more then 100 per day. There seems to be 2 routes they suggest:
1) their sendgrid add-on Article
2) using gmail Article
3) I have my own non-rails web hosting package - could I use this?
Does anyone have experience of using either of these? Which is considered better/easier to manage?

Table of Contents. Mailer To Go provides a simple, secure, and scalable email delivery service. Use Mailer To Go to send emails from your Heroku app using your email addresses and domains. There's no need to maintain complex email systems or learn any new APIs or programming libraries.
If your application is deployed in Heroku, Heroku server doesn't provide email server by default.
On your Heroku account of the application you wish to use, you will need to go to the configure add-ons section and search for Mailgun. Don't worry. you won't need your credit card info to use it! Just select the Starter option, and confirm the add-on for your application.
On Heroku I would recommend Sendgrid over the Gmail solution. Sendgrid is well integrated and you won't touch the 200 emails limit.
Currently, I use both: Sendgrid with CommunityGuides on Heroku and Gmail for local testing. Sendgrid was painless to set up.
