Hello Andy, Why would those not be subject to this? We can 'block' most on customer level. And this is done like that also. This seems to be an argument in favour of identifying the customer id in the headers, not for requiring COI. Which is indeed rational since it makes it more likely that

Hi! Most organisations will reconsider after beeing blocked a few times due to non COI But not the likes of SendGrid, Mailgun, Mailjet, ? which also makes making the argument much more difficult since a) the prospective client can always go to the above and send to their contact lists

Hi! Hell, even if you are dishonest and make the costs of deliverability problems higher than they are it can still be challenging to make COI look more profitable. I really wish this weren?t true and I?ve been trying to make it true for years. But, sometimes reality bites. If sending

Thanks Byron, for sharing your experience. I believe this is not an uncommon experience for mailing list operators, and the bots are, to put it mildly, a major nuisance indeed. I suspect that some of the bots may be trying to detect patterns in the confirmation codes that cmoe

We've required confirmed-opt-in for years. But a few months ago, I noticed that our servers were sending out hundreds of 'confirmation required' messages every day. They were going to obviously-bogus addresses, likely submitted to our submission forms by bots. Without opt-in, all those bogus

After the years of harassment I’ve endured by being subscribed to hundreds of thousands of mailing lists that are not double opt in, I’d say just casually toss my email into their mailing list and watch me convince them by way of harassment. I’m so far beyond asking nicely, my sanity wasn’t in
