Theoretically, yes. Practically, no. As recipients, we all judge the mail we receive as spam/non-spam based on content - whether we like the content or not. If one considers the content wanted and useful, he/she will not complain that it was potentially sent without their consent. On the other hand, even if I subscribed eg. to some newsletter (often because some website *required* me to do so, violating the GDPR) and I find the content annoying, I will consider it spam despite the fact it was *theoretically* sent with my consent. So I think the best description would be - it's whether I like these emails being sent to me or not. And that decision is based on their actual content, and not on my previous consent (or lack of it) to receive them. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
