E-mail: Killer App or Business Killer?
from the complain-away dept
Yet another publisher of an email newsletter is complaining about spam filters blocking out his email. He points out that for all the talk about email being a killer app, spam is quickly turning it into a business killer. I agree that many spam filters are a little too over eager to block out spam, but I think that will become less of a problem as the filters get better. At the same time, I do wonder about any filter offering that doesn't at least let the recipient review which emails were tagged as spam to make sure it doesn't catch any legit emails (and then let people whitelist those addresses).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
