Spam in Russian, officially
There is a large such company, it is called Mail.Ru, and this company has a number of services, one of which I would like to mention with bad words. At first, I was indignant at the situation and gave out on the mountain a number of unflattering phrases to the mail, but then the situation made me think.
When I logged into my account at Google’s mail service, I was surprised to find a letter from the Mail.Ru project robot. The headline caught my eye - "Notice of subscription to the newsletter" AUCTION IN THE SPHERE OF STATE PROCESS. Changes in legislation. Auction in electronic form "". Like this? I do not use mailings with Mail.Ru.
I go into the letter and see the following content:
I’ve got used to the fact that a subscription to any newsletters must be confirmed and only after that it will work. Except for spamming , naturally. Ops! The letter of the letter does not say anything about the confirmation of the subscription to the newsletter, only about the method of unsubscribing from it. Hm! Interesting - it turns out that Mail.Ru invented the interface to directly add users to the list, without asking for them.
This is not a good approach, but in rare cases it can be justified. Well, to hell with it, unsubscribe. I send a letter with the cherished unsubscribe to the specified address and almost immediately the answer comes:
What is it that turns out, I was signed without my knowledge of some kind of left (based on the name - definitely spammer) newsletter and I still have to confirm the reply from the mailing list in the best traditions of the Redmond company products? I, of course, confirmed the reply from the mailing list, but ...
In Mailings @ Mail.Ru inverted approach to mailing subscriptions - you need to confirm the formal replies, not the subscriptions . For those who have long been accustomed to the fact that you need to confirm a subscription, this will be a surprise. And due to the fact that Mailings @ Mail.Ru allow you to sign up for mailings without any confirmation, we come to Spam 2.0. The server is valid and is quite a formal and legitimate mailing list. N-th number of mailings is quite a valid and necessary and subscriptions are made voluntarily. However, now there are slag-mailing in the best traditions of spammers, but from such official spammers. Valid
Now it remains to make some small conclusions - the garbage delivery services have once again reached a higher level of work. The situation is almost paradoxical - however, in Russia almost everything is paradoxical, so we will wait for development. If such slag continues to come from the mail , I will complain to abuse @ or I will make a cardinal solution of the issue - all mail from mail .ru and its domains to / dev / null. Not looking.
Habrachelovek, and you run up to such mailing? And how would you do in this case and the situation?
