Yes, I'm still seeing this. So, an open question:
As an ESP, how am I supposed to tell my users to practice good list
hygiene and remove unengaged recipients from their lists when my data
is being tainted by Google/Microsoft/etc triggering all of my
engagement mechanisms (open tracking pixel, tracked links, etc)?
These show up as their most engaged recipients.
Obviously there are things that can be done on my end (look for all
URIs in the email being triggered with a short time frame from IP
ranges that we know do this behavior and don't count those as
engagement), so I'll tread down that path with our developers. Still,
I find it frustrating, and wonder how other people are dealing with
this issue.
In a fairly ad-hoc manner. Automated clicks aren't too painful to deal
with, but you have to have the infrastructure to do it. Image loads
are hard, but treating those as an "open" has always been a pretty
fuzzy metric anyway.
It's almost enough to make one question the prudence of the entire
concept of HTML email...
