Yes that’s correct. Email senders are informed when you mark email as spam so they can add you to an unsubscribe list automatically.

- flukus 9y agoSounds like an easy way to verify active email addresses.

- civilian 9y agoIt is! But it's better just to check the SES queue for "email was delivered".
- BillinghamJ 9y agoYeah the SMTP protocol handles verification of mailbox existence already.
- austinjp 9y agoThis is very odd. I thought the "mark as spam" button was entirely within Gmail. I had no idea it sent a message to the email sender. Is this standard? It seems counter productive, since it confirms the spam was received. I want it to fail silently and disappear forever. What should I be doing, to achieve silent spam disposal within Gmail? I hope I don't have to set filters myself, that would defeat the entire purpose of a smart system that learns to recognise spam. Edit: we're talking about "mark as spam", not "unsubscribe", right?
- BillinghamJ 9y agoYep.
