This just becomes increasingly important when management drops an email in the "Put Spam Here" folder for training that clearly isn't spam, but something they've subscribed to, like a newsletter. For the email that even I question sometimes, I'd like to be able to give them a definitive answer as to why it is or isn't spam. Thanks, Alex
You know how it is unsafe to use unsubscribe on many spam because that you are a live address?
What would be helpful is a list of "known mailing list service providers" that we know are safe to use the unsubscribe procedure. Then when our users classify such mail as spam, we could possibly auto-unsubscribe with scripts and not blindly blacklist.
Does topica.com ever send any legitimate mail? I see nothing but spam coming from there. I see many similar "providers" of unknown legitimacy where I don't know if to report or unsubscribe. The business model of these providers apparently do not reward them to be vigilant against abusive customers, as we spam fighters seem unwilling to punish them for repetitive abuse.
