While we’re adding antiquated and shitty ways to interface with your agent, can we add fax support? Maybe direct-to-mail service for postcards and flyers?

#22How awful is the reputation on those IP addresses going to be?
Re: Cloudflare Email Service
#23When the cost of spamming is near 0.00, all open platforms will be abused to the tilt. We have seen the email channel get less and less reliable with our own clients (password recovery, notifications and etc).
This might evolve into a couple of oligopolies (Microsoft 365 Outlook, Google Gmail, may be some legacy email providers like Yahoo) and if you want delivery you'd need to pay them, because they'd be the verifiers that you're not a spammer.
And these platforms will have a hell of time to fight the spammers that will create millions of email addresses and spam trough them.

Haha, great visual. Really illustrative of what these AI startups and bootstrapped indie developers are dealing with (and, if I had to guess, why most of them don't go anywhere).

#27$0.35 per 1,000 emails it's fair pricing. Looks better than fixed $20 for Resend.
I like Resend, a lot, but this is probably something I can't pass up, especially if it does what it says on the tin

#28It would be interesting to send GDPR requests and have Cloudflare figure out all of the parties who got or use your mail.

#30> Everyone already has an email address, which means everyone can already interact with your application or agent.
