This week, AWS customers received an email detailing changes with Google 
+ Yahoo and others.
See forwarded in full. As an evolution of email, is this likely to make 
it more reliable again or will it lead to further deterioration of the 
service?

Subject: 	[Action may be required] Mailbox providers announce new 
requirements for bulk email senders [AWS Account: xxx ]

Hello,

In a move to safeguard user inboxes, Gmail [1] and Yahoo Mail [2] 
announced a new set of requirements for senders. Effective February 
2024, the new requirements affect email senders who distribute over 
5,000 bulk messages per day or have >0.3% of messages reported as spam. 
Failure to comply with the new requirements may result in Gmail and 
Yahoo rejecting message delivery to their customers.

For more information on the new mailbox provider requirements and how to 
comply, please visit the AWS blog [3]. If you have any questions or 
concerns, please reach out to AWS Support [4].
