Hi Tonia, team, Thanks for your thoughts on this. All in all I think one of the paid options could be a worthwhile option for us. We should bear in mind though that there will most likely still be a limit to the amounts of emails we can send, ie. manage expectations. This is the difference between GMass and say, Mailman - in Mailman the amount of emails in the list does not matter. However, we do subscribe people to a list. That only leaves me with 3 questions, also to discuss with @cristina brandtstetter <cristina.brandtstetter at fiware.org>: - *Which package would we go for?* IMO: There is not a big difference between Standard and Premium so I'm leaning towards Premium. - Are we OK with the *2000 email limit* per day? More insights here <https://www.gmass.co/blog/you-can-now-send-10000-emails-with-gmass-and-gmail/#:~:text=GMass%20will%20automatically%20send%20the,in%20the%20GMass%20Settings%20box.> . - Which email should we attach the package to? I would suggest an email we all have access to as we might need it on several different occasions.
