    Hi Jacob, Ado here, from FounderMail. I'm really glad you ended up on-boarding with us, and I wanted to reach out to thank you for the review and feedback.

    The manual approve to outbound sending helped a lot to keep spammers out of the platform.

    We ensure that domain exists and you're the owner, the website is legit, etc, making impossible for a bot to operate throughout our channel.

    And is working, almost 4 weeks in, no complaints, less than 0.1 bounce rate.

    You know, having an high reputation is vital to ensure the emails we send on behalf of our customers are reaching the inbox not the spam folder.

    Said that, you continue to be right: it's annoying. We're working to reduce the pain autoapproving it for cases like your.

    Thank you again (I hope you'll never find a reason to leave us! :)

      Somewhat ironic, given your entire website is AI generated.

        You're saying that building their own website using AI is equivalent to sending spam emails?

          Building a website with Claude is literally "a bot operating on their channels". Whether these are morally equivalent is an unrelated axis - it's the literal claim that's being disputed

        Seems you're... conflating the concepts of spamming people with using a language model to generate code
