There's two of us at 37signals building projects on top of the HttpLua / ngx_lua module. The OpenResty ( http://www.openresty.org ) project is absolutely worth a look if you are willing to live on the edge and you wan't incredibly fast perf

Copied from Noah's comment on the post (I asked him first): "We do track open rates for emails that are already HTML formatted and making remote requests for images, but you’ll never get 100% accuracy with that metric because many people us

You comment reminds me that we left out a biggie: We include a "stop sending me these messages" link in almost every email we send. The link actually works too.

I know this wasn't clear from the post... We include a "fake" image (with a unique has for that specific message) in all html email so we know if it's "really been delivered" (ie it was actually opened).

FWIW we haven't done any "paid" whitelisting. That's too mafia-esque for us. SES requires each sending address to be verified upfront. For us that's an issue.

I'll talk with Noah about open sourcing it. Right now it would take a little bit of effort, but it's probably worth it for the good of the community.

It's not worth outsourcing. We just add a tiny gif that has a unique hash. When that file is requested record the hash and mark the identified message as read.

That should read we "check a repo". We don't actually do a git checkout.

Yes. Sorry used the package name(dkim-filter). It's a milter though.

As DHH commented on the post: The file name was only shared because it was funny and not identifiable with anything, and just seen passing through the logs. We do not look at people’s files and we do not share any personal information of an

The timing is not tied to our move off of Rackspace and on to our own hardware, or our move to multiple providers. Noah and JD finally had time to work on making this data public and so we did. The fact that it happened at the end of the ye
