Thanks Nickler!

With MailChimp, the receivers would see the Unsubscribe link at the bottom, which clearly shows it's an automated email. Also, going through New list, New campaign workflows just for a quick email to 10-20 people is a little cumbersome.

Agreed with the automated emails. However, there are already solutions for this, and I wouldn't know how to differentiate it without a significant time investment.

I believe that an unsubscribe link is a requirement of the CAN-SPAM act

Even for a one-time email to potential leads?

Holy moly. Sending unsolicited marketing emails is the very reason CAN-SPAM came about. The fines for violations would crush most early stage startups.

If you are going to continue further with email, please read up on CAN-SPAM, inboxing, SPAMHAUS, DKIM.

Thanks!

As someone who also builds projects from real world itches I need to scratch, I get what you're chasing here. I'm definitely toying with it to see if there are other ways to use this, embedded CTA's, requests for referrals, etc.
