Does anybody here know anything about the legitimacy of Constant

Hi,
Very legitimate. We have 4 or 5 clients who use it to send out emails
to their subscribers.
How ever, it can and does get abused by spammers from time to time,
but they usually cut them off after receiving complaints.
That has not been my experience. The responses I get from spam
complaints just say they've removed my address from that person's list.
As the original poster said they don't allow you to opt out globally.
Nor do they make it easy to file an abuse complaint in the first place.
There links at the bottom of the email to do all sorts of things but not
to report the message as spam.
For reasons like this I will not manually unsubscribe spam from
constantcontact.com or tell them what addresses were being sent. They
deserve a hurt reputation if they have a poor anti-spam policy.
Unsubscribing only the offending addresses only artificially hides the
problem from the statistical analysis without solving it.
