imma be honest, if i get a email that comes from a buttondown.com server, for something i have never signed up for, im gonna mark as spam... email is hard, and it seams every time a new sender service pops up, It seems to get a lot of bad actors.
Your homepage says "and our spam protection is best-in-class." is that for your client inbox, or mine?
- dewey 2y agoAlmost all the spam I'm getting is coming from some weird re-purposed domain of an old business or unsecured mail server. I can't recall receiving "spam" from Mailchimp, Buttondown or other newsletter companies. Especially because before you can send a significant amount of emails on these providers you have to pay a lot, or get your account verified through different means. Seems like a bit of an overreaction on your part.
- iamacyborg 2y agoThe nice thing about mailchimp et al is you can just forward the unsolicited mail to abuse@ and they’ll generally deal with the bad sender.
- dewey 2y agoThat's pretty much table stakes for every ISP to have a way to quickly report abuse on their network or service.
- iamacyborg 2y agoYep, but for most b2b spam that is being sent through google suite it’s not an option.
- Nullabillity 2y agoIf mailchimp et al blocked their bad senders then they wouldn't have any senders left. Mailchimp in particular kicked out all their good senders years ago, when they made Mandrill require a Mailchimp subscription.
- iamacyborg 2y agoDo you really believe that?
- Nullabillity 2y agoTheir main product is spam as a service. There's nothing to believe, you just have to look at their website for two seconds.
- iamacyborg 2y agoAh, you’re one of those people who don’t understand that people actually do want to receive marketing emails.
- Nullabillity 2y agoLet me guess, you're a spamware developer?
