I'm liking the pricing with you guys, I have a list of contacts currently around 5k that will probably take awhile to grow to 10k that I wouldn't mind paying $10/m to send monthly emails to. Now again I want to send a warm "open" to them to update their subscription settings and whatnot but since many may be a little old (we rarely sent emails except direct correspondence) I'm super concerned about people hitting "mark as spam" and it becoming an abuse complaint resulting in domain blacklists. I did a 2k run on an actual newsletter with mailchimp and 4 people did that. About 19 unsub'd which is fine. Any advice?

We have a lot of posts that talk about avoiding being flagged as spam, such as: https://sendgrid.com/blog/10-tips-to-keep-email-out-of-the-spam-folder/ https://sendgrid.com/blog/10-tips-to-keep-email-out-of-the-s... These kinds of articles will be able to provide better advice than I can in a comment thread. One tip, if it is in the budget, is to have two sending IPs. One for transactional mail and one for newsletters. This will let you keep your transactional mail's IP's reputation higher.
