Reaktivierungskampagnen sind ein beliebtes Mittel, um “verlorene” Adressdatensätze, die im Zweifel viel Geld gekostet haben, zu “retten“. Klingt nach einer guten Idee, oder nicht? Neben den positiven Aspekten gibt es jedoch auch Risiken. Welche das sind und wie man diese verhindert, darum geht es in diesem Artikel.
There is considerable market demand for Email Address Verification (EAV). This is reflected by the fact that numerous companies have specialized in this field. For example, Return Path, Inc., the largest email intelligence and deliverability service provider, which works closely with numerous ESPs and ISPs, has recognized this fact and has started to collaborate with a major provider of EAV in order to offer its customers a benefit in email marketing.
What is Compliance in regards to Deliverability?
Compliance to Deliverability, is like water to fish. Look after the water and the fish will look after themselves, kind of, as long as you have a good marketing strategy to add to the water treatment.
I’m not here to talk about spam, just to be clear. I’m talking about how you obtain your database of contacts, and how you look after each individual and ultimately respect your fish. By the way I’m not comparing your recipients to fish.
Die Email in ihrer ursprünglichen Form ist ein unsicheres Medium. Authentifizierung wird mithilfe von DKIM und SPF nachgerüstet und wird heutzutage als Defacto-Standard angesehen. Aber schützt all das bereits wirksam gegen Phishing? Die traurige Antwort lautet: nein! Die gute Nachricht ist jedoch: die neue Initiative “Brand Indicators for Message Identification” (BIMI) formiert sich gerade, um genau diese Lücke zu schließen.
Recently, there’s some talk about list bombing. What does this actually mean?
While ISPs concentrate on attacks from a single IP (or IP range) or sending domain, listbombing uses various subscription forms for sending just a few mails from each.
Problem for the targeted address is, that a lot of mails are coming in in a small amount of time without consistent pattern – goal is to make the address unavailable for a specific time.
DOI doesn’t help here as well, because the DOI confirmation mail itself can be part of the attack and be used for it.
MailChimp, a bulk mail sender for small and medium-size senders is changing its default subscribe method from October 31st from Double-Opt-In to Single-Opt-In. In my opinion, this is not only a bad idea, but also against the evolution in times of GDPR and data security.
