I was revisiting @Sendinblue as a potential SMTP relay for @healthchecks_io, and ran into an unfortunate limitation. When you send emails with Sendinblue, they replace URLs in emails with their tracking links, and insert tracking pixels in the messages. 4 atbildes

Sendinblue declined my request to turn the tracking off. I must first build some sending history for a few weeks (with tracking on), and then they can review. https://t.co/ncmYDiUa11 | |

I'm very interested in the data minimization principle, and considered @Sendinblue primarily because they are EU based and presumably GDPR compliant. The mandatory tracking (even if temporary) is unfortunately a deal breaker :-( | |

@cuu508 @Sendinblue @healthchecks_io Why do people use SMTP relays these days? Just connect to the destination MX! | |

@KirilsSolovjovs @Sendinblue @healthchecks_io - To offload the handling of IP reputation, blacklist removals, deliverability issues - To offload DKIM signing - To have one less service to keep up to date, secure, monitored | |
