If you need to go through a huge checklist of things to do to differentiate yourself from spam, then guess what?...
- Godel_unicode 4y agoThe spam problem has gotten really bad and therefore everyone no matter their circumstances needs to bend over backwards to prove they're not spam?
- ismaelyws 4y agoKind of, yes. From how I understand it, Authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR, et) and Reputation (Good domain & IP score) just informs ESPs that you're who you say you are and you're not abusing their network.
- _glsb 4y agoThat problem is easily solved with client-side whitelists (ala hey.com). However, that would also mean the death of all "legitimate" marketing emails. All the hoops you have to jump through are there either as a form of identity validation (which is fair) or because the industry wants to allow SOME unsolicited emails through.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoHow many normal people do you know who use hey? People hate making lists, they won't do it. Then they'll lose their minds when their banks fraud department can't reach them, or they find out they didn't get the job because the recruiter couldn't email them, or... Then there's the fact that a lot of people sign up for a lot of bacon, then get angry about receiving it.
- ismaelyws 4y agovery good point.
- ismaelyws 4y agoI haven't tried out hey.com yet. Does it mean I have to fill out some form or captcha in order to send someone an email? Or they would need to "approve" me first?
- jevgeni 4y agoNo. Each time you get an email from a new email address, you screen it and say if you want it in your inbox or somewhere else (spam, or transactional emails, or whatever), or you just don't want to receive it. That way your inbox is only reserved for emails from people you know or accept.
- ismaelyws 4y agogot it, ok.
