I'm saying it's not "unquestionably SPAM." Because I don't consider our newsletter canned ham. However, if I suddenly got a weird reason to put in a new header (X-Campaign, for instance, to track ... well I can't think of a way to use one bi-monthly newsletter to one recipient list as part of a "campaign" ...*** ), I wouldn't want that header to run up against someone else's SPAM installation. I don't have control over our recipient's email boxen, so white-listing it isn't a solution.
How many of your pseudo opt-in emails contain this header? (rhetorical question). I don't deny that there are spams that pretend to be opt-in. I deny that this header is a good test for "unquestionably spam". -Russ *** On the other hand, if we were large enough to have several lists and several newsletters that might be semi-related, I could see doing some sort of "campaign" to send related information to all the related lists... but then, it would probably true that a "campaign" like that would be spam-flavored, wouldn't it?
