Hi All, Some spammers are now sending "verify your email account" spam abuse. When an email address is submitted and a vendor confirms that email address (prior to subscribing it to a bulk mail list, etc) : imho, sending a single (one) email to verify/confirm every 24 hour period - with a maximum of two verify/confirms reminders (one per 24 hour period) - is not abuse. But sending more than one verify/confirm email, in a single 24 hour period - and sending more than 3 emails in total - in any period - is abuse. I know that I have used the spammer, twitter.com before as an example, but they are good examples to use. Twitter.com seems to never remove their victims email addresses (and even ignores unsubscribe requests). Twitter.com also seems to go through bursts of activity and sends many confirmation emails to spamtraps (accounts that has never existed and only exists in stolen databases - i.e not real person/people) - whether criminals or third parties submit these fake email addresses to twitter.com or how twitter.com obtains these addresses are not relevant to this thread What is relevant is: Do you agree that sending "more than 3 verify your email account" is abuse? If you do not agree, what do you think that number should be? How many "verify your email address" and reminders to confirm, etc. is not abuse, in your opinion? Like I said, I think one in 24 hours and a total of three, seems reasonable to me. Thanks! Andre
