Mailchimp just exploited bad behavior of Gmail, which accepts mail only from large and reputable servers, so your own server, which had never sent spam, will be almost blacklisted by default.
Or maybe it's a lie and Gmail happily accepts mail from properly configured servers? But Mailchimp's marketing made people believe in former. So yes, disruption of thinking.
Why it's called "movement" and considered good? They almost killed last decentralized system on internet — the email. With basically FUD. All hail disruption!
- jimktrains2 9y agoI wouldn't call it a lie. I worked for a place that had an IP for years and only sent transactional email from it (i.e. receipts) and one day we started getting a lot of calls about no receipts. Sure enough, one of the large isps blocked our server. (Yes, spf and doing we're setup.) I'm not saying MailChimp is the answer. The whole system of blacklists is just bad and causes systems like MailChimp and it's kin to pop up.
- jcadam 9y agoYep, thanks to gmail (and other major email services) running your own mail server is more trouble than it's worth. There once was a time when you could just email postmaster@domain and work out mail delivery issues like civilized people. Bah, I hate the modern internet. Thanks, Google.
