Hello! Hoping someone with some experience with MW can help...
I run Author.Email, which is an ESP/marketing platform for authors. We run on MW, and typically through SES and ElasticEmail.
I like those two because the verification process for "From" addresses (customers' emails who will be sending through us) is straightforward:
BUT SES sucks, and EE is somehow even worse.
Unfortunately, trying to use something like SendGrid won't work, because I'd have to re-verify every single email address INCLUDING adding their individual company addresses, from address, reply-to address, name, etc...
That's insane — why so much information for individual senders?
Anyway, the question: What SMTP or API services DON'T require all of this? Which one should I set up that won't require me to use domain-based authentication (SparkPost), or require me to add a million pieces of data for every freaking email address I want to send from?
Alternatively: is anyone sending on behalf of customers some other way? i.e. is someone sending from an account-level email address (like all the emails from any customers come from "hello@author.email")? Is this typical?
Would love to hear how others are doing it!

- Add the email address to EE/SES
- Configure a couple options (only for SES)
- Verification link is sent, customer clicks it, we're done.
BUT SES sucks, and EE is somehow even worse.
