A No Agenda producer reported receiving "Error 554" when trying to send emails via Yahoo, which the company's policy page attributes to "objectionable links." The hosts warn that major email providers are actively scanning outgoing content and blocking messages that violate internal policies, urging listeners to move to private servers.

The hosts urge listeners to opt out of free services and use community-run email servers.

### Google Gmail Promotions Tab, Impact on Small Business Newsletters

The introduction of the "Promotions" tab in Google Gmail has caused a significant decline in open rates for the No Agenda newsletter, dropping from over 50% to 27%. Similar delivery issues are reported with Yahoo Mail, where newsletters are reportedly disappearing or being diverted to spam folders. This shift in email architecture is described as a "mercantile attack" on small businesses, forcing creators to compete with internal ads from the service providers themselves.
