Keep your emails safe with these best practices

I get it—unless you're a cyber security pro, email security might not be the most exciting topic. But facing a cyber attack isn't either. Stressful, sure. Exciting, definitely not.

Email-based attacks put you at risk of huge financial loss, not to mention reputational damage and even loss of intellectual property and company secrets.

Our guide breaks down the different types of email attacks and their impact, how to promote awareness among your team, and how to develop your own email security policy.

Latest updates 💫

In addition to oiling the cogs behind the scenes, these are the latest MailerSend updates since our last newsletter:

Set a monthly usage limit: We've updated the app's billing settings so that you can now set a limit for your monthly over-usage charge. This means you won't be charged over the limit you set, after which email sending will pause until your plan's allowance resets for the following month.
Removal of simple personalization: As we move toward the use of advanced personalization variables, we would like to remind you that support for simple personalization variables is set to be discontinued.
