I agree. Spam is not about where it comes from, but about content.
Looking back on my thirty years dealing with email spam, I reiterate the
foundational principle:
It is not about content, it is about consent.
Theoretically, yes. Practically, no.
As recipients, we all judge the mail we receive as spam/non-spam based on
content - whether we like the content or not. If one considers the content
wanted and useful, he/she will not complain that it was potentially sent
without their consent. On the other hand, even if I subscribed eg. to some
newsletter (often because some website *required* me to do so, violating the
GDPR) and I find the content annoying, I will consider it spam despite the
fact it was *theoretically* sent with my consent.
All too often, especially when discussing the "mailing list problem" introduced
by DMARC, mailing lists are conflated with newsletters. Not receiving any
invitation, never being unwittingly subscribed, but instead passing a COI, make
a *fundamental difference*.
Best
Ale
