What is the difference between cold mailing and spamming?
- Splendor 10y agoIf you do it it's 'cold mailing'. If someone else does it it's 'spamming'.
- _hyn3 10y agoNearly lol'ed on that. I would add that if you're actually doing what the OP claims: > I’ve personally typed and carefully went through every single email I sent. Then I would definitely consider that cold mail, and not spam. A targeted, personal, concise email is worth 1,000 spammy emails (and perhaps approaches infinity if you factor in negative strikes against "good faith"). The difference is more qualitative than quantitative.
- yabatopia 10y agoCold email is unsolicited, but not necessarily spam.

- gwbas1c 10y agoI firmly believe that the recipient, not the sender, defines what SPAM is. "Cold emails" are marketing emails that the recipient is unlikely to define as SPAM.
