I can understand, yes. The reason we decided to allow 25Mb for paid plan is to avoid abuses.

Just to be clear, I'm happy to pay, makes me feel safer. It's just that the jump is way too big for me. That being said, I really like your service and I hope will succeed! Cheers

Thank you very much, I also hope it will succeed :D

> Did you explicitly ask for it? Good That's what 'transactional' means... it's supposed to be used for the end or beginning of a transaction (reset password, receipt for a purchase, things like that...)

No, that is not what transactional mail means, you're wrong. Things like friend requests are also transactional email by definition. So are those "you left your cart behind, want to complete the purchase?". That doesn't mean that you asked to receive it.

Instead of being pedantic about it lets give it another name then. Whatever we call this new category of email that does not include password resets and does include friend requests and abandonment emails - don't send them 4x per day.

Come on, sometimes it's better to be understood than to be right. Fuck the definition.
