> Oh, there's a way out of all this though: obtain a "Return Path Certification" [1]. That is, pay them an absurd amount of money and your mails are guaranteed to get to the users' inbox unless you are clearly spamming (all of the above assumed you are NOT).

Could you name the cost?

They are a "contact us" kind of organization, but if you look hard enough you'll find prices from a while back [1].

TLDR: Minimum tier was $400 signup + $1,375/year for up to 100,000 mails/year.

Bonus: They straight up declined my business because it was too marketing-y for them.

What was too marketing for them? A 100% opt-in list that reminded customers when a product was in stock. Fully made in-house, with captcha, privacy policies, opt-out, and with the user typing their email and name, the complete works for a one-time reminder email.

Nope far too marketing related for them.
