Tuesdays with Tadabase - December 24th 2024

:loudspeaker: Message from Moe our CEO: Important Update on Email Sending Policies :email:

We’ve always aimed to provide maximum flexibility with email sending on our platform, but recently, we’ve encountered some challenges. Malicious use of our native SMTP caused a temporary suspension by our email provider, which disrupted email functionality for some users.

Additionally, legitimate accounts unintentionally sent large volumes of emails to invalid addresses, increasing bounce rates and triggering flags.

Here’s how we’re addressing this:

  • Trial Accounts: Unverified trial users can now send up to 3 emails until verified by our support team. Verified trial accounts will have higher limits.

  • Enhanced Monitoring: We’ve added new tracking for bounces, spam, opens, and clicks. If high bounce or spam rates are detected, email sending will pause until resolved.

  • Native SMTP Users: These changes apply only to users of our native SMTP service. If you use custom SMTP, you’re unaffected (aside from trial limits).

We’re committed to ensuring a reliable email experience while safeguarding the platform. Thank you for your understanding as we improve our processes. If you have questions, feel free to contact support.

:newspaper_roll: Time to clean up the wrapping paper, Tadabasers. Happy building, Happy holidays and see you next week for our final update of 2024! :rocket:
