Yeah, over the last 10 years we banged our head on how a universal
method would work, and yes.. all vulnerable to abuse..
In the end, if mailchimp actually DID use the sender's email in the MAIL
FROM, it might make it easier.. If they did had a way to see that this
was an invite..
You 'could' filter it all to the junk mail folder, but flag the
'invites' so a person could 'click' on 'I want to be on this list',
which would exempt it from going to the junk folder, and adding the
sender to your address book..
So far, that's all we got ;)
You will never get 100% accuracy, but you can go for 99.99, and allow
the recipient to make the final choice on what is wanted/unwanted.
Remember, one person's spam, is another person's reading material.
At the end, only transparency can make that happen, however transparency
often goes against the business model where you get paid on how much
reaches the inbox, and quite quickly allowing the 'questionable' paying
customer to join the 'good' paying customers traffic, to increase
revenue. IMHO

It would need to be a standard... a SINGLE standard.
Like the FTC "Do Not Call" list.
What Michael said... And it would be a colossally bad idea.
Anybody think it wouldn't leak and be used specifically to spam some
more? A list of 100% guaranteed working email addresses? :-D
Aloha,

My question to mailchimp et al:
Is there way I could force my email address to be double opt in?
Like register with you, confirm my address, and then any of your
customers who try to add me, I get a `please confirm` email.
This, but without the "have to register" bit ...
