Now We Need A Company To Tell Us When Our Email Is Spam Too
from the sigh dept
It's really quite impressive how many other businesses spam has generated. There are all the anti-spam companies, and now there's even a company that will monitor if your (one assumes) legitimate email is being called spam. Return Path has a bunch of email accounts at major ISPs and signed up for various spam blocking services. They also monitor all the various blacklists - and will alert you (if you're a big company and you pay them money) if your emails are getting stopped by a spam blocker. They'll also tell you why and make suggestions on how to de-spamify your email. Anyone else think things are getting even more ridiculous when you have to pay a company to make sure your perfectly legitimate email isn't being blocked?
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
