Not agreeing to their terms, but acknowledging that the domain of your email will handle your email using their policies, and that the privacy of the content of your email is limited to whatever privacy policies the recipient domain has in place.
- benologist 13y agoStrongly disagree with "acknowledging" which is really the same thing - automatic, implicit acceptance of whatever happens next. A domain and an email address don't imply anything by itself and it's impossible to know without significant research whose and what policies are in effect. You could arguably require one or more lawyers just to decipher what exactly you're subject to when you factor in different countries, company locations, server locations etc. Phones and web/desktop mail clients have made email addresses virtually invisible in lieu of our contacts' names, and the factors I mentioned in my other post make it impossible to ultimately know what inbox an email really ends up in anyway. Are we agreeing, or acknowledging, a telco's terms and conditions when we dial a number?
