Is it a good idea to build an newsletter subscription service (like mailchimp) that works like apple email relay, where the customers don't have access to the actual emails? The difference would be on trust that the provider will not use the emails for it's own purposes other than what the newsletter owner agreed too in a contractually binding manner that survives acquisitions. Now the newsletter owns the relationship, and the readers are assured that they're not handing over their email and can easily unsubscribe.

- figassis 3y agoStill is there value? whether you submit a unique email address, this model would still work for the millions of users who do not correct? Also, I assume icloud or similar services are not immune to leaks?
