    Hi, I've removed the link since this exposes your poll to the public. The URL is completely safe. AWS is Amazon Web Services which is what we use to send out emails. It's one of the largest and most reliable service providers in this space. We're using their deliverability manager service which allows us to see open and click metrics on the emails we send out. There's no personal information being transmitted here and it's safe to add it to your allow list.

    The reason why it might have been blocked is because malicious users might use the same service to hide links to their sites which could make it harder for services like uBlock Origin to effectively judge the safety of the link.

    That said, these metrics aren't of great value and I'd be happy to turn it off if I knew this was causing significant issues.
