Digests are now Supported for Owner-Paid Feeds

Owner-paid feeds allow feed publishers to provide FeedMail to their subscribers at no cost. For example the FeedMail Blog is an owner-paid feed.

Up until now digest subscriptions were not covered by owner-paid plans. Subscribers could select a digest but they would have to pay for the subscriptions themselves.

Digests are now fully supported under owner-paid plans.

For users:

  • The owner-paid feeds in your digests no longer count towards the cost of the digest.

For publishers:

  • Users will now be able to receive your feed as a digest or included in one of their existing digests.
  • You will be charged one credit for each digest issue containing items from your feed (no matter how many items from your feed are in that issue). Notably this cost will never be more than real-time subscriptions would be.

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.
