Now We Need A Company To Tell Us When Our Email Is Spam Too
from the sigh dept
It's really quite impressive how many other businesses spam has generated. There are all the anti-spam companies, and now there's even a company that will monitor if your (one assumes) legitimate email is being called spam. Return Path has a bunch of email accounts at major ISPs and signed up for various spam blocking services. They also monitor all the various blacklists - and will alert you (if you're a big company and you pay them money) if your emails are getting stopped by a spam blocker. They'll also tell you why and make suggestions on how to de-spamify your email. Anyone else think things are getting even more ridiculous when you have to pay a company to make sure your perfectly legitimate email isn't being blocked?

Sounds more like a service to help spammers get all their "legitimate" e-mail offers around those big bad filters.

I agree with A. Coward above. Although its not a bad business model being able to FUD some deep pocket legit companies, we all know who's going to eventually butter their bread.
