(ii) address in a manner from which consent to receive email of the type transmitted may be reasonably implied.
I don't believe that Usenet (network news) grants consent for advertisers or information providers to contact you. Craigslist makes it very clear before posting with their opt-in checkbox. I've seen a huge increase in UCE from major "legitimate" deliverability companies. I suspect the push to adopt DMARC is a ploy to legitimize the modern Spamford Wallace type companies (e.g., Marketo, et al.). No disrespect to longtime RFC contributors, as the guys in suits have taken over. I hereby revoke all permissions from companies that do not have a confirmed opt-in e-mail response from me that explicitly grants permission to receive marketing and informational messages from any party reading all or part of this posting/message or just the headers. matthew black First Amendment: comments made herein belong solely to the author and may not convey policies or opinions of his employer. -----Original Message----- From: mailop [mailto:mailop-boun...@mailop.org] On Behalf Of Jay Hennigan Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 10:57 AM To: mailop Subject: [mailop] Spam to "published" address? I've been getting an increasing amount of spam to various of my addresses some of which have not been been actively used for some time. The amount of spam received is kicking upward fairly rapidly. All of this spam is sent by a third-party, not the company whose primary domain appears in the "From". The content of this spam seems to be somewhat related to my interests in most cases but definitely not from anyone from whom I've given permission. In investigating this third-party mailer I came across this interesting policy: "Unsolicited Email" is defined as email sent to persons other than: (i) persons with whom you have an existing business relationship, OR (ii) persons who have consented to the receipt of such email, including publishing or providing their email address in a manner from which consent to receive email of the type transmitted may be reasonably implied. It's section (ii) that concerns me. Scraping addresses from Usenet, blogs, comments, or subscribed discussion lists could easily fall under "Publishing", could it not? What is the opinion of this group, is this policy that of a legitimate ESP or a garden-variety spammer? -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - j...@impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org http://chilli.nosignal.org/mailman/listinfo/mailop _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org http://chilli.nosignal.org/mailman/listinfo/mailop
