What do you do when legitimate mail (lately, DoorDash order info and
Delta Airlines tickets) is sent to the wrong address? These types of
messages rarely have an unsubscribe method. I get a ton of crap to a
Gmail address that I really only use for Google-related stuff (not as a
general email box), so I know instantly that this is not to me.
Why do vendors think they don't need an unsubscribe in this type of
mail? Just because their customers are dumb and don't know their own
email address doesn't mean they should continue sending personal
information about them to other people.
Subscriptions are for recurring events. A DoorDash order or airline
ticket is not a recurring event.
It's kind of like the difference between a misaddressed snail-mail
personal letter and a misaddressed snail-mail magazine.
Now, if DoorDash and Delta capture transactional email addresses and use
them to spam you back to the stone age (otherwise known as, "Present you
with offers of other products and services that may be of interest to
you"), then that's a different story.
