Maintaining your own mailserver is getting challenging, but post like these show it’s still worth the effort.
I don’t unsubscribe from spam, I block domains.
I wonder if you had a sms to email Bridge if you could run spam filters on that
Shame having your own mail server didn’t teach you the difference between emails and text messages.
It doesn’t mean nothing, it confirms your number is real and in use, thus increasing the value when they sell it.
Unsubscribe from marketing, a message reminding you of an upcoming service isn’t marketing? Nor is the message asking for feedback after a service?
I would say a cold text asking how many miles I have to see if they can schedule service, would be considered marketing.
Not really. If they schedule oil changes every 6 months the mileage check is to see if they should also schedule like a transmission check so you don’t have to keep coming back
Yes, but obviously they don’t, and legally the definitions are blurry.
Honda at least differentiates between marketing material from their sales department and marketing material from their maintenance department (which they don’t consider marketing).
Where I am at least, their automated texts come with a link to manage the messaging you want to see from them, with options to choose exactly which types of messages (if any) you want to see.
Wolf asks “can I come in?”
Piglet says “no!”
Wolf now knows it’s worth busting down the heavy door…yummy.
Don’t ever reply to spam sms
