Tell them about the abuse and ask them if they like that other can subscribe them to hundreds of mailing lists that they are not interested in. Don't they like it? Tell them that confirmation is a way to prohibit that. > In a way, this is a struggle between technical people who care about > consent vs. marketing people who just want to advertise and use > damage-control methods to clean up the mess (the marketers also seem > to refuse to care about the ethics or the blacklists, and have the > attitude that everyone's replaceable as long as they get what they > want). Tell them that annoying advertisement doesn't make people buy products. Much better advertising is to only advertise to the people interested. They need to understand that sending mails to people who don't like to receive them doesn't make them buy something - instead they blacklist you servers and other customers that are interested in your mail don't receive it anymore. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
