Interesting topic. It does seem somewhat unethical of Google to target users in this way, a bit like Ted Baker having a sales rep in a Paul Smith shop. However, email marketeers make use of Gmails facilities for free so do they have a right to complain? It would be a hard case to argue that Google should remove this feature, unless of course the marketeer were willing to pay for the service.

I think the new priority inbox is really simple, the best thing about it is that you just leave it to sort everything out. I love it and wrote it up earlier today.

I do not understand why I should pay $20 for my outgoing email, but have no protection from incoming spam. This is a joke and a rip-off and it is causing me a great deal of trouble. It just suddenly appeared last night without my asking to install it. How do I get rid of it?

You say, "If you don't want to be on the whitelist don't pay it."

That sounds like what the mob says when someone complains about paying protection money. In fact, it is exactly the same operation. Barracuda is saying that, unless we pay it protection money, it intends to take active steps to harm our business. How can you condone that in a post with "Ethics&

Thank you for posting this! I couldn't figure out why suddenly our emails didn't look right in Gmail. If I hadn't done a spot check on a whim, I wouldn't have noticed.

Hello Juan,

I estimated the weight according to what I measured myself as the real value of each event.

Of course these weights can be adjusted according to your business model, for example : an agency that will earn its money from clicks or that will justify the CPM they are renting the DB through the open rate might want to adjust these, and will of course not need the &

Anton, this is great info and came to me exactly in the moment when I want to separate the "golden" users from the "bronze", "silver", etc.

One question though: how did you estimated the weight for each action: 2 for clicks and 5 for buy?

I had a virus infection at a client site a month ago. After the cleaning it took less that 12 hours for all of the other blacklists to clear the IP, but then I got notifications WEEKS later that employees were getting bounces from some recipients.

Three different domains were bouncing their mail 3 weeks after the domain was cleaned (and the firewall was set to only allow outbound SMTP

One of my IP's got blocked by Baracude Networks for sending alleged spam in the last 30 days... Seen as I have the maillogs for the last 60 days and have not been able to identify any spam being sent that seems highly unlikely (this is a very low traffic mail-server)...
Upon requesting the date, time and proof of this alleged spam I have not received answer from them for a couple of days

This is extremely frustrating to deal with. In the last week - I have registered 2 domain names and started the email servers up. Less than 10 messages have been sent from either domain - but both have been blocked.
Obviously these a-holes are trolling the lists - looking for new domains to block so they can make 20 more dollars per year.
Its a scam - pure and simple.

While probably detrimental for picking up in a nightclub, long subject lines can work. Alchemy Worx (the email marketing agency I work for you in the UK) showed that long subject lines, even those over 100 characters, generate
