 * We had to close a security hole in our site by activating an HSTS protocol in
   our site header.
 * As such, since forum subscription emails contain links that are not HTTPS:// 
   ie:
 * [http://email2.ourdomain.com/](http://email2.ourdomain.com/)
 * Our users can’t click on the link without being blocked by this protocol.
 * Can you advise? We need our email links to have the https:// prefix in the URL.

 * Yes, the {url} part.
 * We use sendgrid for transactional emails, so the “email2.mydomain.com” part is
   a sendgrid server. the upn is a string of random characters (256).
