You can basically do what ever you want want with minimal if any repisal It takes 7 business days to get removed. My ass. It's an instant transaction or the company is incredibly incompetent.

It was a good story until he got to the point where he assumed that the only reason a step needed approval from another office was "racism."

Seriously? Is he so inexperienced in a corporate setting, or so unimaginative that this is the only thing he can come up with?

Email spam has went down mostly from self regulation.

ISPs are vigilant about blocking IP addresses with bad spam reputation. They also block IPs that have a sudden surge in volume.

Email marketers have to manage their own IP address reputations to be effective. If too many people mark your email as spam, then the IP could be blacklisted.

I think it has more to do w/ SPF, DKIM, and DMARC enforcement.

I think your IP becomes blacklisted simply by being reported to a blacklist.

I gave up and accept this as the normal standard. I just delete it and move on. Also gave up on “inbox 0.” That’s an unattainable goal. Better luck putting my self on the moon.

>Also gave up on “inbox 0.” That’s an unattainable goal. As someone who has never had any trouble maintaining inbox 0 I have to ask, why?

Same. 0 is easy.

I've never received an sms marketing message from GoogleFi in 4 years.

You may be in two different countries with two different sets of options available.

You'd be surprised how much this underlying root cause is the source of so many online arguments over who is "right".

It's amazing how many people seem to think that the words on the screen are someone just down the road living a life virtually similar to theirs and not sitting in a country where holding hands is illegal in public and people get stoned to death in public.

I'm the latter. Hi!

Couldn't agree with you more. I get marketing SMS with pictures from my network provider about the new iPhone etc. Its terrible.

Inbox 0 really triggers me.

Simply put, if you are unable to get to 0 (work related), then you need to take on less.

I run a business and get less than 10 emails per day, what is everyone doing that is filling up their inboxes so much?

Wow turns out email marketing is illegal everywhere. That's what it says, so no need to read it for yourself.

Not quite right:

> CAN-SPAM, unlike most other email marketing legislations, works on an opt-out basis. There is no requirement for consent to contact subscribers based in the USA. You must make it clear how to opt-out and honor those requests promptly, within ten business days.
