We've been using SendGrid (though not with GAE) for a couple years now. We send 3-4k messages/day through it and have never been asked for any proof of consent, only a copy of our privacy policy. They give you the tools for managing opt-out through them (with optional auto-append of footers, filtering anyone on the opt-out list for you, etc) so I doubt they would expect you to duplicate managing consent.
