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.

Correcting this issue is essential to preventing abuse, ensuring long-term sustainability, and maintaining fair pricing. Multiple updates are a rare occurrence. It usually happens on on feeds that update very often (faster than once every 5...

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.
