In the latter case the message would be unsolicited and spam by my count. If we're taking about a proper mailing list, then this should not be possible/allowed as the user would need to have been added without a confirmation / address verification mechanism, and the mailing list operator deserves to get spanked for not enforcing proper sign-up verification. If we're taking about something like a newsletter mailout, then that's just bad form on the sender's part and they also deserve to get spanked for it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hal Murray <[email protected]> Sent: 2015-02-13 - 16:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mailop] AOL SCOMP messages > >> 2) emphasize how easy it is to unsubscribe, also at the TOP of the email. > > I agree that people who sign up for a mailing list should unsubscribe when > they change their mind, but there are a lot of senders who add people to > lists without asking or even mentioning that the list exists. > > >> 1) emphasize the desirability of adding the mailing list address to Safe >> Senders, preferably at the top of the email. > > I'm still surprised that the bulk senders and the big receivers haven't > worked out some setup for the receiver to piggyback on the confirmed-opt-in > exchange.
