Feed Export

We are pleased to announce support for exporting your feeds. This is a feature that we hope no one is waiting to use but is important for being a good steward of your data.

Simply go to https://feedmail.org/subscriptions/export (or click the link from your subscription list) to download your subscriptions in one of two currently supported formats.

OPML is an industry-standard format for migrating feeds between readers including podcast clients. (Did you know that you can use FeedMail to get notified of new podcast episodes?) When exporting to OPML a different category is created for each of your emails and rich metadata such as feed titles are included for ease of use.

The text file export is the simplest possible format. The downloaded file will simply be a list of feed URLs, one-per line. This format is also widely supported and it's simplicity makes it easy to use in ad hoc automation.

We hope this is helpful to you whether you want to make an extra backup of your subscription list, run some personal data analysis or have decided that FeedMail is not the reader for you.

Delay on YouTube Feeds

Most YouTube feeds have not sent new notifications since 2023-10-02 14:20 UTC. We will be triggering a manual YouTube feeds over the next hour and all missing notifications will be sent. If you have any missing notifications after 2023-10-05 14:00 UTC please reach out to support. Update 14:00 : All updates have been sent. If you believe that you are still missing updates feel free to reach out. The rest of this post is a technical analysis of the issue. Background This was caused due to recent emergency response to YouTube WebSub notifications. The emergency response was necessary is due to the following factors. YouTube WebSub posts are not spec compliant and do not contain the required information to send notifications. Therefore FeedMail uses these notifications as a "ping" to re-fetch the feed. YouTube often sends notifications before the entries appear in the feed. The exact reason is not known but sometimes entries do not appear for up to an hour after the WebSub push. ...

Invalid DKIM Signature for Some Mail

As of 2023-07-26 FeedMail messages sent via AWS SES have an invalid feedmail.org DKIM signature. This may result in messages ending up in your spam folder. This is an ongoing issue and updates will be posted here as they are available. 2023-09-25 We have issue an update that should avoid SES re-formatting signed fields. This is a workaround but should result in valid signatures. Who is affected? This is unlikely to affect most of our users for the following reasons: 97% of our mail is sent by us directly, not via AWS. This mail still has a SPF-verified sending IP. However this may still affect users because spam filters may consider these messages less "good" than they would have been with a valid DKIM signature. The most notable Inbox Providers affected by this are Apple and Microsoft. FeedMail uses AWS SES for these providers as they reject all messages from our network provider. However other smaller providers may also have a portion of their messages sent via AWS SES. ...

Support for SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security

FeedMail now supports SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS) . This standard provides receiving domains a way to attempt to indicate that incoming mail should only be delivered over a secure connection. When FeedMail receives this signal it will refuse to deliver over insecure connections (retrying mail as required). FeedMail does not currently support SMTP TLS Reporting (TLSRPT) . We will be reaching out to any existing customers who's mail may be rejected due to this change.
