Another note: SparkPost just changed their pricing model as a result of the Mandrill situation. Up to 100K emails a month for free! 101K+ is $44 a month.

I'm in the process (with another piece of software) of dealing with the Mandrill decision to "close" and force everyone to have a paid account though MailChimp. A lot of people are moving from the service.
While researching new providers, I found an interesting chart. I know Jamroom uses Mailgun for mail - which is a great service - but looking at the chart below the deliverability is much higher for other providers. Maybe you guys would want to create another module for SparkPost or SendGrid?
Just a suggestion.

How Apache Is Losing The Web To NGINX
Off Topic
I'll check that out! I use both, but since I started using centminmod.com for my servers, I've moved to using Nginx. If you haven't ever check out centminmod.com it's one of the best LEMPs I've ever used. eva2000 (developer) is a really smart guy - check out the centminmod forums.
How Apache Is Losing The Web To NGINX
Off Topic
Some parts of the platform stack are so ubiquitous that that are almost transparent. Commercialized web servers were the first part of the Internet to make the jump from service providers to enterprises, and they made companies like Netscape, IBM, Microsoft, and Red Hat rich in those early days.
The open source Apache web server rose to prominence along with the open source and Linux software movements that coincided with the rise of Internet-style networking and computing, and for several decades the Apache web server has dominated the installed base. But the NGINX web serving and load balancing platform, which is also open source, has been making steady gains in recent years, and it looks like it won’t be too long before it surpasses Apache in the installed base.
What is going on here?

Jamroom and Nginx Centmin Mod LEMP Stack

Created a separate staticfiles.conf file located here:
https://gist.github.com/zeronug/c5d3298f4783dc73efc9
Index Not Found
Installation and Configuration
I believe I figured it out. What I did was create 3 locations for the directories:
location ~^(/modules/).*(\.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso))$ {
gzip_static off;
#add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
access_log off;
expires 30d;
break;
}
location ~^(/data/).*(\.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso))$ {
gzip_static off;
#add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
access_log off;
expires 30d;
break;
}
location ~^(/skins/).*(\.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso))$ {
gzip_static off;
#add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
access_log off;
expires 30d;
break;
}
I can use the three above and the images show. If I try one of the location blocks with:
/image/img/module/jrCore/
the ACP jrCore images don't show. So, I know it's working on all the images except that specific location, which happens to be the location for those ACP images.

@brian most of the files with the extensions (3gpgifjpgjpegpngicowmvaviasfasxmpgmpegmp4plsmp3midwavswfflvexeziptarrargztgzbz2uha7zdocdocxxlsxlsxpdfiso) are going to be in either the skins and the data directory, correct? If so, I can apply the rule to both those directories and omit the modules directory?
Index Not Found
Installation and Configuration
I'm not sure I want to exclude that rule for the entire JR site. Since it's only affecting a select group of images in the ACP couldn't there be a sort of work around for this?
I could create a new staticfiles.conf file for just my JR site on the server. But like I said above, I wouldn't be able to use any of the settings for all the other images on the site which aren't affected by this.
I'm trying to do a specific rule for the jrCore directory. We'll see what happens.

Looks like I found the issue.
There is a location for staticfiles in Centminmod.
location ~* \.(3gpgifjpgjpegpngicowmvaviasfasxmpgmpegmp4plsmp3midwavswfflvexeziptarrargztgzbz2uha7zdocdocxxlsxlsxpdfiso)$ {
gzip_static off;
#add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
access_log off;
expires 30d;
break;
}
@brian the above isn't playing nice with the images in the ACP (see screen shot above) any thoughts? I can remove it for JR but having this included works for every other script I've installed and I'm not having any other issues with any of the other images on the site... just the ACP images.
I asked the centminmod developer https://community.centminmod.com/posts/26574/ if I could just remove the above and he said:
Quote:
"What is an example url link to the broken image ? and where does that image reside on local path ?"
depends on that
"What is an example url link to the broken image ? and where does that image reside on local path ?"

Any ideas?
