If users really want that then they can just dump all email from addresses not in their address book. Some already do that. It turns out that most people actually want to be able to get email from entities they do not yet know.

- alistairSH 4y agoThere are unsolicited emails and emails from unknown senders. The two aren’t the same. I email a car dealer. I expect a response. But I don’t know if it’ll be from Bob or Larry. And I definitely don’t want to be added to thirty two different email lists they manage.
