What is SuprSend?

Notification infra platform invests in developer ergonomics — MCP, CLI, Templates 2.0, OTEL.

SuprSend has been shipping for a developer-first audience: Templates 2.0 with variants and a redesigned editor (one template per channel, with tenant/language/plan branches), a programmatic Messages API for fetching and updating delivery state, zero-install CLI and MCP server via npx, native monitoring integrations for Datadog, New Relic, and OpenTelemetry. CLI updates also added automatic SKILLS.md generation and fixed a corrupted Node SDK package-lock.

What is Rspamd?

Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.

Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.

SuprSend vs Rspamd: editorial side-by-side

S5.0

Notification infra platform invests in developer ergonomics — MCP, CLI, Templates 2.0, OTEL.

◆ Current state

SuprSend has been shipping for a developer-first audience: Templates 2.0 with variants and a redesigned editor (one template per channel, with tenant/language/plan branches), a programmatic Messages API for fetching and updating delivery state, zero-install CLI and MCP server via npx, native monitoring integrations for Datadog, New Relic, and OpenTelemetry. CLI updates also added automatic SKILLS.md generation and fixed a corrupted Node SDK package-lock.

◆ Where it's heading

SuprSend is positioning as the notification infrastructure that backend engineers — and the AI coding agents working on their behalf — actually want to use. The MCP-server and CLI-via-npx work, plus Claude Code plugin refresh, signal a deliberate AI-native posture. Templates 2.0 is the structural play: one template that resolves to the right variant per tenant/language/plan removes a real maintenance burden for multi-tenant SaaS and i18n use cases, which is where notification infra usually breaks down at scale.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper Inbox/in-app notification primitives now that the Messages API is programmatic, more advanced Templates 2.0 variant logic (likely conditional fragments and content reuse), and broader observability surface — possibly per-workflow SLO tracking. Continued investment in MCP/agent-callable workflows is highly likely.

5.0

Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.

◆ Current state

Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.

◆ Where it's heading

Since 4.1, every release has hardened parsers and closed memory-safety and trust gaps; 4.3 applies the same pass to the authentication standards themselves (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC) and to content extraction. Operators should expect scores and fuzzy hashes to shift after upgrading, because the project now favours spec-correct results over backward-compatible ones.

◆ Prediction

A 4.3.x point release fixing regressions from these behaviour changes is the likely next step, as 4.2.1 followed 4.2.0 within two weeks.
