The description of this resource states:
But in DBTech mail options there is the option to Enable Digest.
Is this functional in XF2.3 and does this have any purpose?
Is it possible to send out a test Inactivity Email? I want to see how it looks and if it confirms to the requirements of AWS SES.
This makes sense because XF2.2 introduced Activity Summaries.

Updated to remove the 1.5/2.0/2.1 only section, as Digests are indeed available in 2.3.
The inactivity email comes with an unsubscribe/email stop link and uses the phrase
dbtech_mail_inactivity_reminder_body as the main body of the email.

Does the inactivity email use the MAIL_CONTAINER template as wrapper?
I have added the logo to it. and this template uses the email_footer_html phrase which has my email footer links.
If not, how do I add the logo to the email?
Does it use the email colors defined in /admin.php?styles/nova.1/style-properties/group&group=email ?

Cool! What is the difference between Digests and Activity summary?

It does
Yes, it uses no custom CSS.
Activity Summary only sends to inactive users as far as I can tell. The Digest is sent to all* users. Furthermore, users can choose how often to receive the digest and their digest will be generated based on the time since they last received it.

When I open the user criteria in a digest I get this error:

If I send out a test email of XF Activity Summary, then it looks good in protonmail. However, when I send a test digest then protonmail puts a red banner on the email:
This email has failed its domain's authentication requirements. It may be spoofed or improperly forwarded. Learn more.
This does not make sense to me. Why would email digest fail but not other mail?

Seems like you have an addon conflict. Can you try disabling all other addons?

The things that I would really like to see in DBT MAIL are:

Some of the above I posted as suggestions as new Digests instead of new block. For example:
www.dragonbyte-tech.com
www.dragonbyte-tech.com
www.dragonbyte-tech.com
These should not be suggestions for new digests, but for email blocks that can be added to a digest or newsletter. The main thing is that these Topic of Interest are Gold and we want to email these to members. The how exactly is not the main thing.
Could you please edit these suggestions?
Not planned - Bookmarked content Digest
Please consider to add a digest for bookmarked content. Such content is highly interesting to the user.
Not planned - Digest for content the user has replied to.
Please consider to add a digest for new content the user has replied to.
Not planned - Digest for content by followed members
Please consider to add a digest for content by followed members. Such content is likely highly interesting for the member.
Could you please edit these suggestions?

Is rechecking coming?
Quite a large number of hard bounces result from mailing addresses with UNKNOWN status. In most cases the address doesn't exist.
Also: it would be really useful if the validation result would be added to user change log. i.e. Validation status: UNKNOWN
Currently I have a mass of unexpected bounces after validation, but I cannot find what the validation check result was. This makes it difficult to investigate the issue.

Manually re-checking users is one of the requests on my shortlist for v5.2.0
The user change log is connected to fields in one of the user tables being changed, so that is unlikely.

List-Unsubscribe is a XenForo feature, not a feature of this add-on. That being said, admin.php?dbtech-mail/logs/subscriptions/ is the subscribe/unsubscribe log for DB Mail mailing lists.

An easy way to test this for yourself once you have made configuration changes is to setup a mailing list only you have access to, send emails to the list, and use a compatible mail client to send the unsubscribe request.

I'm seeing this message at the top of the digest email:
This is weird, because this is not showing with activity summary email.
Email header shows this:

Email header shows this:
