Would anyone like to share cold email war stories of success?
- parpfish 2y agoId rather hear Cold War email stories
- einpoklum 2y agoOne winter, it was snowing real bad where I was living. So I sent my landlord an email complaining about how the heating was malfunctioning. At first he wouldn't budge, even as I decried the cruelty of his cold, cold heart. Well, after more repeated nagging, he relented and fixed the heating!
- kstrauser 2y agoSure! I get a ridiculous number of cold emails to my personal address, and I've trained my spam filter to flag and delete nearly all of them. Success!
- cookiengineer 2y agoI've been receiving hundreds of these emails per day, and they were hard to filter due to them being ChatGPT generated (also in native language/s). But I started my own spam filter that filters out the rotating networks of those companies, due to them having multiple ASNs and multiple load balancers that they rotate on a daily basis to avoid being filtered by e.g. spamhaus. If they use a public email service and fake gmail addresses, they are blocked via domain due to gmail itself stripping out the relay trace of IPs :( other than that my inboxes are now super clean and I love it. If you don't want this type of spam, or if you want to give me spam samples to filter out, this is the repository: https://github.com/cookiengineer/antispam https://github.com/cookiengineer/antispam
