History should remember that one as "the Email presidential election".
Such messages are responsible for a large amount of damage at various
companies, measured in stolen trade secrets or actual money from
accounts,
of even company wide shutdowns with destructive malware.
Opt-in confirmation or open rates on marketing mail just isn't going
to
make that cut. The benefits to the individuals or receiving companies
of
the marketing mail is pretty small compared to the benefits to the
senders.
Yes, I get it. And I agree. Still it's a suboptimal outcome. Thanks
spammers :-/
I think some enterprises would be happy if we blocked all marketing
mail to
their companies, especially consumer marketing mail. We've had spam
escalations related to that from enterprises when we've made changes
that
went easier on some better reputation marketing mail.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing that. My experience with companies
paying for their employees' email matches this.
Best regards
