As one who was a Spam Analyst in the Office365 structure, I have some personal knowledge of this. In fact, paying-customer feedback is (was, when I was there) an intense concern. However, the feedback that reached us was exclusively in the midnight calls to management that amounted to "WHY THE FUCK IS MY COMPANY GETTING SO MUCH SPAM??". Were there a mechanism in place for customers to discover whether their mail was being accepted, there might have been such sand raised. However, since there are explicit prohibitions of attempting broadcast email through the O365 service, no deliverability services are provided. We did pay LOTS of attention to the constant outbound spamming activities that were enabled and promoted by stupid management decisions regarding intake, vetting, and monitoring of new customers. Some of us had solved these issues during the early all-you-can-eat-for-$20 dialup era. >And I'd wager a bet that most of these (and their MSFT sales buddies if they >have any) would put the blame squarely on >those who rejected their mails, not on MSFT. You might not find the odds in your favour. mdr -- Ad finem pugnabo. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
