It doesn't work for gmail users. Tracking pixel will only be fired the first time the email is opened. After that, images will be served via google proxy servers.

- parliament32 6y agoI doubt they'd cache an image for 3 months or longer.
- jerrygoyal 6y agonope, not sure about the gmail proxy servers but you get alerts everytime user opens the mail. speaking from first hand experience.
- pirsquare 6y agoThat happens if email is opened via clients like Thunderbird. For gmail, image will be served via google proxy servers.
