Well in fact no, it's their client database, collected through vehicles they sold, with emails of client that have legitimately opted in when buying their vehicles. Our clients are responsible legally of their databases, we offer the technical interface, that will help all opt-out, quality responses, and bounces to be dealt with. (things they can't and don't do under outlook... man) Most of all, and after asking our clients, last-end email users are at 90 % vehicles professional that himself sells vehicles to individuals. Now do we provide a spamming solution ? We hope not, and we are providing all last-end emailed user the possibility to unsubscribe at any moment of single / all databases. And if we have spam complain / reports, it is clear that the concerned client, will have to give us it's opt in policy, if he wants to continue using his services. Clunk Werclick wrote > If you are sending mail to valid users who have opted in, it won't bounce. > Will it :-) Do you have any email marketing knowledge ? Here are some cases of bounces that do need to be dealt with : - User email address changes not notified to our clients. (I change my mail from wanadoo to neufcegetel, and I certainly did not tell it to all subscripted mailing lists) - ISP domain change (we have had the case in France the last 6 months : 2 ISP's have closed, and more than 500 000 email addresses are not valid anymore, this gives our clients a chance in 5 to have a closed address in his legitimate database) - Domain MX problems. (Soft or hard) And this only concerns valid users, not spam databases. Now I don't need lessons on spamming. We are setting this up in order to let our client, do email marketing, the best way possible (including SPF / DK / DomainKeys / ReturnPath, and all available systems), and allowing users / admins to identify spam source, complain, and unsubscribe. My question is how to I manage bounces back in my postfix servers, knowing that the bounce addresses do not exists as valid users ??? If you don't have the answer, I don't think community needs your personal comments on what's good and what's bad...
