Hi,
I'm working on a bulk (opt in!) email delivery system at the moment,
and over the years I've heard a number of possibly apocryphal
stories about people requiring contracts with large email suppliers
(Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, MSN etc..) in order to be able to guarantee
delivery and lower the risk of email that's been requested by an
end user being mistakenly blackholed or treated as spam by their
ISP (or webmail provider).
Has anyone ever actually come across such a contract in real life
or are they just urban myths?
Cheers,
J.
