Best transactional mail service

I have tried mailgun for one of my apps to send transactional emails, the issue is sometimes the emails fail to deliver but we won't be notified about that. Is there any good service that you can recommend?

    Mailgun is pretty popular and I think you can poll one of their APIs for delivery confirmation. I used to work for SparkPost and I enjoy that service. They have good webhooks support so you can know the status of your email on each step. I do currently work for a startup that's partially funded by Twilio so SendGrid could be another option but delivery confirmation is an extra paid feature. How were you looking to be notified of these failures? How is your deliverability with Mailgun otherwise? You could look into something like Courier that will handle delivery confirmation and retry with your existing provide. I do work there, but I'm also happy to help explore other providers. Mailgun does have webhooks and I'm happy to answer any related questions.
