The service handles confirmation emails, delivery tracking, bounce handling, and GDPR-friendly data minimization. A key design goal is agent-friendliness: a CLI and JSON API let coding agents create lists, connect forms, and export subscribers without a dashboard. The post covers technical decisions including a POST-based confirmation flow to prevent email security scanners from auto-confirming addresses, Cloudflare Queue-based delivery event reconciliation, and privacy-by-design data retention rules. Source code and self-hosting instructions are planned for release soon. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
