I believe the biggest issue is that the ONLY lever the email gave the user to pull (the Opt-Out of these emails link) was broken.
(FYI: It's working now.)
I still don't even know if that does what I think it does (it sounds like marketing list opt-out).

How is a user, who has been signed up for your services without their knowledge, meant to "opt out" of the trial, or account, after the point of receiving the email,
if they never even initiated the account on your end?
I'm be the first to acknowledge that this is something we want to improve. Unfortunately that will take time and iterations - you are experiencing our support (i hope) at it's worst. We sent an email to the backlog of unanswered free-plan emails just to acknowledge and redirect them somewhere we can offer more support
For security/fraud, we have a slightly different process: https://supabase.com/.well-known/security.txt
This process is to ensure that we _don't_ miss emails, like we did with yours.
You post here is helpful for us to figure out the areas that we need to improve. Again, I'm sorry that we didn't give you a good impression the first time - all we can do is iterate based on feedback like yours. If you want to share more my email is in my profile
