I'd argue that their inability to offer a functional opt-out is
bordering on spam-support.
months ago, it was non functional (you needed to join, which gave them
permission to spam you in order to opt-out)
they finally (and I hope it was my constant bitching about it) that they
finally STARTED with the 'easy opt-out'.
From a OCD perspective, I might have just dragged them into the 'report
spam' folder (sends to DCC/RAZOR/SPAMCOP) and be done with it if they
had (if they ever do) add the full physical address of the sender (who
is the sender? linkedin? or the guy who loaded up all the @FreeBSD.org
addresses harvested from the developers web site?)
So, no, this isn't an SA issue per say, but I did want to mention that
they look like they finally fixed the easy opt-out. one click, leave
the checkbox, hit 'apply', and they TELL you that you are opted out.
so, they fixed that (still say that if RP gets paid to certify an easily
abused system, then the score should not be -3.0).
and, that score itself is arbitrary, added because its pretty difficult
to qualify a corpus of spammy like emails and decide which ones you
wanted or not.
I am talking about the whole RP/IADB group of rules in general.
Some human being decided on the -3.0 score.
