Sending emails doesn't seem to be a pain while it is a WordPress site that sends you emails once in a while about some random bot that left a spammy comment. But when emails are important and you really need to send a lot of them, that stuff makes you realize how tricky it becomes and how many tiny details there. Basically 2-20k emails a day and this is a whole new universe. There you need to pay attention, fix, try and prey))
