There's a bunch of these services out there, but here's a couple that may be interesting:

http://www.postful.com/ http://www.l-mail.com/

Both look pretty clean and offer various capabilities to send lots of letters more efficiently, including an API.




Compared to Dustin's though, both of those hurt my eyes to look at. This reminds me of Posterous, blogging is a crowded market but they differentiated themselves by being beautiful and dead simple. Competitors are good, it just proves that there's a market for a service like this.


Pretty much everything hurts my eyes compared to Dustin's work :)

In all seriousness, I thought Postful looked pretty good.


beauty and pain are in the eye of the beholder...

Another one:

http://www.postalmethods.com/

I remember looking at these a while back, and I believe Postal Methods is more robust than either of the two you mentioned (and pretty cheap too).


I use ezgram.com. Same idea, same price.


I love the idea of a printed letter API (like what postful.com has) as a solution to send automated letters to people. First one that comes to mind is to send a letter to someone if they do a chargeback or their credit card was declined.

I look forward to implementing something like this!
