Unfortunately a lot of legal protections for unsolicited spam only apply to consumer usage. For b2b, every marketer with the ability to know your email address is entitled to send you as many messages as they want.
If it wasnt walled, it would be completely unusable.
- inetknght 3y ago> If it wasnt walled, it would be completely unusable. It sounds like stiffer penalties are necessary for sending spam, both to consumers and to businesses.
- jabroni_salad 3y agoI'm a big fan of proof of work for this usecase, personally.
- inetknght 3y agoExactly how will proof of work help this at all?
- superkuh 3y agoI run my own mailserver. I do a catch-all so I receive all email sent to my domain. Even with this setup it is not "completely unusable" in fact it is very very simple to manage spam (entirely in thunderbird, no mailserver side spam filtering) and I have no issues with it. I've had the domain for 20 years now so it is not like it is not out there for spammers to send to.
- jabroni_salad 3y agoSure. Now try it again as an IT manager at a company that buys expensive technology products, with an email address that has been slumming it in lead gen databases for years. Try it again as a loan officer whose job is to trade high-value PDFs with externals whose email address and title is on the bank's 'about us' page. The ability to know an address is the only license you need to send to it. The only reason you haven't had a bad time with this is because you haven't been a target.
