No. Although the email parser as a service idea is nice, it has a couple of major downsides.

For starters, it’s now a GDPR world: I want to avoid the risk of breaches on your side affecting mine. Secondly, today you want to send nice compensation emails, tomorrow (under pressure from your board) you start mining the emails for competitive research and increased monetisation. I wouldn’t want to put the reputation of my service on the line for this.
