AcyMailing vs Flodesk: at a glance
What is AcyMailing?
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
What is Flodesk?
Flodesk turned deliverability into a dashboard with a one-click list scrub.
Flodesk ships single-purpose features for creators running their own lists. The Deliverability Center gathers domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC compared against what Flodesk expects), the Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft sender rules, an audience-health split into six engagement groups, three levels of reversible list cleaning, and a four-step warm-up checklist. A Stencil integration routes app signups into a segment. Before that came the Claude and ChatGPT connectors, the first change to how the product is reached.

AcyMailing
2.5MKT AUTO
AcyMailing 11.1.2 closes holes that let strangers read or unsubscribe any subscriber.
◆ Current state
AcyMailing is a Joomla and WordPress email marketing extension. Release 11.1.2 is a security update: it fixes an unauthenticated leak of subscriber data including the subscriber key, anonymous unsubscribing of any known address, logged-in users changing other people's subscriptions, unchecked post-subscription redirects and campaign archive pages opening without permission. It follows 11.1's privacy work, a per-subscriber tracking switch and fixed one-click unsubscribe.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 11.0 security rework in July, AcyMailing's releases alternate between privacy features and fixes for flaws in how subscriber actions are authorized. 11.1.2 shows the 11.0 rework left gaps in the subscription paths, now patched with ownership checks and security tokens.
◆ Prediction
A security advisory with full details is promised once users have had time to update, and further 11.1.x patches are likely as those details invite scrutiny of related code paths.
Flodesk
2.5MKT AUTO
Flodesk turned deliverability into a dashboard with a one-click list scrub.
◆ Current state
Flodesk ships single-purpose features for creators running their own lists. The Deliverability Center gathers domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC compared against what Flodesk expects), the Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft sender rules, an audience-health split into six engagement groups, three levels of reversible list cleaning, and a four-step warm-up checklist. A Stencil integration routes app signups into a segment. Before that came the Claude and ChatGPT connectors, the first change to how the product is reached.
◆ Where it's heading
List hygiene has become a recurring thread: the Unengaged segment in August, reversible archiving earlier, and now a full deliverability console built on both. Integrations keep following creators to where they sell or build, from Linktree to Stencil apps. The work explains email infrastructure in plain terms for people who never set up DNS records themselves.
◆ Prediction
The connectors were described as read-only with segmentation and subscriber management to follow; that write step is still the clearest pending move. Nothing in these entries indicates timing.
