I left linkedin a long time ago but I still get emails when someone wants to connect. I must have opted out of those a dozen times! Nope, still get 'em.
Also, pedant speaking here, "in one click" isn't really an accurate description of this process.
- hosay123 13y agoJust mark as spam, life's too short
- reddit_clone 13y agoActually since Gmail now has three tabs and the linkedin emails end up in the 'social' folder, it is less of a bother. Once in a while you go in and mass delete.
- lolbang 13y agoAs someone who keeps their inbox clean and pristine, your post just made me shudder...
- tlrobinson 13y agoEven better, create a filter to mark all of them as spam automatically.
- dminor 13y agoGmail's spam filter is so good that it even knows that I consider "LinkedIn Today" emails spam, but I still want to read the ones about my network.
- tobylane 13y agoI hope Google shared this sort of information with LinkedIn. "Your daily emails are reliably considered spam, by people who actually want to use your services."
- Danieru 13y agoThey do, when a user marks an email as spam gmail pings the sender back and notifies them. I imagine this is most useful for the bulk email sending services.
- adwordsjedi 13y agogmail does not have a feedback loop
- Danieru 13y agoI think you are right, I thought I had read about the feature somewhere but now I cannot find any mention of it. Thank you for calling me out.
- adwordsjedi 13y agoi wish they did have a feedback loop. i have a catch-all domain and an employee that was terminated with us left so now I get the barrage of emails to a general box for his LI account. well he never updated his linkedin to a new email and you have to sign in to unsubscribe. well, i don't want to reset his password because i can see he still uses the LI and there is no way to stop these emails. seems like making it impossible to unsubscribe would violate CAN-SPAM.
- ijl 13y agoGmail certainly does: it implements DKIM.
- adwordsjedi 13y agoDKIM is not a feedback loop. A feedback loop is when someone hits spam on one of your emails, the provider lets you know what message caused the user to hit spam. If you have a unique message id or something else in the email encoded in you can tell who it was and not send them any more emails.
- sorbits 13y agoI have postfix reject anything from invitations@linkedin.com. Though requires running your own mail server.
