Great stuff. Meteor is getting more and more compelling as a platform. At this point, I'd seriously consider using it for a new project.

One thing I'd be slightly concerned about is the lack of a serious server-side rendering option, though. The "spiderable" package is a bit of a hack (as they themselves admit).

Awesome! Does the Receive Messages feature also work with Meteor? Or is it only to send emails?

Mailgunner here: while I am not deeply familiar with Meteor technology, if the framework allows you to receive an HTTP POST from a 3rd party domain to a publicly available URL (with HTTPs or without), then yes - you can receive email messages right into your Meteor app.

Is there an option for using this service without deploying to meteor.com?

Yes, you can use any SMTP service you want with Meteor, including Mailgun. It's just when you use meteor deploy, your app is automatically configured with Mailgun. (note- I work at Mailgun).
