Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Your customer base grows and so do your monthly costs. You waste more money if you don't send newsletters often enough.
You're trapped. The larger your customer base, the more you will have to pay each month. What if you could relieve that pressure?
Meet Sendy

Released
6.0.9
TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EMAILS CONTINUE TO REACH GMAIL AND YAHOO ACCOUNTS, UPDATE TO THIS VERSION.
One click unsubscribe
Starting from February 1, 2024, bulk email senders who sends more than 5,000 messages a day to Gmail or Yahoo email accounts are required to include both the List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click and List-Unsubscribe headers in their emails. Sendy already supports the List-Unsubscribe header since version 1.1.9.4, more than a decade ago. This latest version now also includes the List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click header as mandated by Google and Yahoo.
Email authentication
Authenticating your sending domain with DKIM, SPF and DMARC used to be email sending's best practice. Now, it is a mandatory requirement. As Sendy uses Amazon SES to send emails, you can refer to the following links to learn how to set up DKIM, SPF, and DMARC for your sending domains if you haven't done so already.
Reduce spam rates
Maintain a spam complaint rate under 0.3%. As Gmail does not share complaint rates (a.k.a. marked as spam rate) data with Amazon SES or any other ESPs, you can register your sending domain with Google's Postmaster Tools to see and monitor your spam rate with Gmail.

AWS secret key password field in the main settings will now be blank (previously obfuscated in the password field). To update the AWS secret key, enter the new secret key in the field. If left blank, the secret key will not be changed.
Sendy will now remove 'unicode white spaces', in addition to 'regular white spaces', in email addresses when importing CSV files.
Resolved issue where exporting CSVs with an empty date-based custom field would result in an incorrect date (1969/12/31) displayed in the corresponding column.
Fixed bug where submitting the standard subscribe form with empty date based custom field returns Jan 01, 1970 instead of an empty value.
