Not spamming people does sometimes require more work. And I believe this kind of stuff is exactly the definition of spam: UCE. There is no doubt that it is unsolicited, no doubt that it is commercial. Why should it get a pass? "Because it's hard" is no more of an excuse for this than any other type of spam. So yeah, password resets and/or email resets could still go (although still a "not me" link should at least signal somebody that "something is wrong"), but everything else should follow at minimum an opt-out system, if not opt-in. -- Chris Adams <c...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
