I am aware of that. But the way mailchimp operates now, is as a spamer heaven. I don't know the legal situation in the US, but the swiss (and european one) makes some sense, the US one, as I understand it at the moment, does not. I hope you agree. I know there is a CAN-SPAM-ACT, but I have no clue how this can be applied if the sender and recipeints are in switzerland.. I know the users of mailchimp break swiss laws and by not being identifiable, avoid getting complaints from the recipients and even legal prosecution. I know that trying to get a legal complaint from switzerland to the US is nearly impossible. The police in switzerland drops the case with explanations like 'we have been trying in the past but our colleagues in the US don't even react to our requests so it's pointless trying again and would cost us too much effort'. Please come again if you are affected by more serious crimes. Therefore the SWINOG Blacklist listed mailchimp repeatedly to protect it's users from spam sent via Mailchimp. > I can't and won't speak for them but I have known them to actively > suspend spammers Yes, they do. And then the spamers get unblocked and keeps going. A Spamer Heaven, as told. Ok I just notice I've mistaken you with Joey Rothledge from the MailChimp delivery Team. It would be nice to get a comment from him on that issue. I just feel, that adapting their policy in a way I suggested, that would not affect legitimate users, would make it very much harder for spamers to use their services. All would benefit from this: * Recipients would get less spam via Mailchimp. * Legitimate Users of Mailchimp would get less trouble with blocked emails. * Mailchimp Abuse Desk would get less work with blacklisting and abuse issues. * Less success for spamers! -Benoît Panizzon- -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
