Yes. It’s not suitable for discourse:

> What a bummer. It really looks like you can’t send a single email through elastic email without an unsubscribe link at the bottom. (In my case, they’re also adding my address. But I haven’t investigated whether the address can be removed). In any case, I think this should disqualify elastic email as an officially recommended email provider for discourse. It’s unusable like that. And 30 minute install wont work if you have to go back and reconfigure your email…

Interesting. Wasn’t aware of that one. But why would you want to pay 0.1 USD per 1,000 emails from the first email (or am I missing something?) when mailgun gives you the first 10,000 for free (and then 0.5 USD per 1,000)? Are they doing as good a job as mailgun in maintaining a good reputation for their IPs?
