Wouldn't this expose the validity of the email address to every embedded tracker, since it's going to hit the tracking URLs to load the tracking images for embedding into the email?
- velcrovan 7y agoThe validity is already known since most email servers will send a bounce if the address is not valid.
- GrinningFool 7y agoTrue, though it would still be considered as 'read' by the trackers.
- velcrovan 7y agoThe point of the feature though is that the trackers can no longer provide meaningful insight beyond what the lack of a bounce provides, since the server will always fetch whether the email is opened or not.
