For the record, I’m not in any way affiliated with the PyPA. I’m just linking to official resources that prove the legitimacy of these e-mails. As for finding a better host, it’s not easy. MailChimp, as annoying as they might be, has built up a good reputation with mail hosts* (of course, there are a bunch of other services that have such reputation as well.) However, if you send the e-mail yourself, and big mail hosts notice you have sent a ton of e-mail, they will probably consider you a spammer and make your life harder. Especially if your e-mail server is misconfigured in even the slightest way. * https://mailchimp.com/features/email-delivery/ -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
