This might be good news, but as it comes from Google and involves email centralisation, I’m sceptical. At MailPace we already enforce DKIM, it’s pretty basic stuff. But list-unsubscribe is optional for our senders. We can make this a requirement and manage lists for senders who don’t / can’t implement a webhook to handle it (we already default to blocking resends to emails that hard bounce). However I am curious how…
> "Gmail’s AI-powered defenses stop more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware from reaching inboxes and block nearly 15 billion unwanted emails every day." This will be a pain for legit use cases but will net to a better place for the ecosystem. Much like strong KYB/KYC for bulk text messaging.
You joking right? The amount of text messages spam I receive now on Verizon, and some 8 months ago before on T-mobile is staggering.
Hijacking the thread: I do some "bulk" sending for a 501(c)3 I volunteer for. I include unsubscribe links that go to a form with a submit button (because I want the unsubscribe to be a POST request). Each link has a random opaque identifier in the query string. Something like: hxxp://example.com/unsubscribe?id=abcd1234 A couple years ago I noticed that MSFT IPs hitting my unsubscribe links with invalid identifiers on…

Why would you allow users to unsub from transactional emails?
Doesn't matter to me, if an email doesn't have a one click unsubscribe I just mark it as spam. Messes with their email reputation so they hopefully get kicked off of reputable email services.

I thought it was part of CAN SPAM that you can’t require a second action and that was why the big email sending providers moved to that.
I've seen this pattern of unsubscribe link, then click button approved as CAN-SPAM compliant more than once so I don't think there's a legal concern. The CAN-SPAM rule seems more targeted at the systems you used to see a lot that required the user to log into their account, type in their email address, or figure out a complicated "communications preferences" list to use the unsubscribe form.

It's a little fuzzy to me how exactly to interpret this but I think you could reasonably read it as allowing even unsubscribe pages that require you to type your email address in again (even though I detest these and don't think the problem they're intended to solve is a meaningful one).

Please try to make the world a better place instead of doing the legal minimum.

Yes, I know I've seen someone talk about this before, I think it's their link safety checking thing: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-a...
Most of the spam I get in gmail apparently comes from other gmail accounts. Presumably google already filtered out senders pretending to be gmail, so I am not sure what a big improvement this will be for the average user.
