- 0x3f 1y agoGreat idea. Maybe Mailchimp needs to make their own consumer email service.
- DetroitThrow 1y agoUsing the Honey extension's approach to "unfucking" a broken system, eh?
- pxeger1 1y agoI think that might be intended as an example of how to allow a specific newsletter only
- account42 1y agoThen it should use example.com and not their own newsletter. This is pretty shady.
- jeroenhd 1y agoFor what it's worth, I can think of a non-evil reason to do this (i.e. telling people "there was a bug in our mail filters and we're accidentally throwing away important emails, update immediately"). It's probably safe to assume this is a marketing trick, though.
- DetroitThrow 1y agoWell we can rule out the former given that randomdailyurls is included in the "Mark as nonspam AND important" list..
- BitsAndObjects 1y agoThey don't require your email address to download the filters, so how exactly do they get your address in order to deliver this non-evil allow-listed notification email? It's likely they thought: "What if our existing users/subscribers use these filters? Our own emails will end up archived?! No we can't have that..." and thus they fell into a trap of their own making. Perhaps it's 'lawful evil' to think their own mailing lists are good and everyone else's are bad? Lol.
