I've been using gmail's SMTP server to send email (notifications, password reminder, etc) in my web application. However, i'm getting to the point where i'm reaching the limit of 500 sent emails per day using gmail's SMTP.

Is there any SMTP service's that I can use instead? A friend told me about sendgrid.com, but that's the only one i've heard of.

Besides SendGrid which you mentioned, there is also Postmark for transaction emails and Newsberry for email marketing

I recently found http://www.mandrill.com which seems to be transaction e-mail service from MailChimp. It allows to send e-mails thru SMTP and API. It also provide many other functions like delivery, open tracking, templates ans so on. Its free for up to 12000 e-mails per month.

JangoSMTP is another option. You can send via SMTP or API and it comes with open tracking, click tracking, a Google Analytics integration, and log reporting.

you can probably use your local mta on your server as pekka said. something like /usr/sbin/sendmail on unix or the SMTP Service in IIS on win

Postmark and Deliver are probably the best tools for this. Of course another possibility is to install an email server like Postfix on your web server, which can handle a large number of emails without any cost, though won't have the delivery reliability or tracking offered by a paid service.
