New Gmail rules enforced starting in February should reduce spam, make it easier to unsubscribe from bulk senders, and close email security loopholes exploited by cybercriminals.
It’s pure self-interest. They want better information about the person. Spam muddies the waters, so cleaning the up to have the best picture of whoever it is they’re surveilling is only reasonable.
Ehh I dunno, this doesn’t really change much for regular mail operators. Anyone can choose to reject any message as spam based on whatever rules they choose, and this seems pretty reasonable.
I certainly don’t enjoy having to update my mail server configuration every couple of years. But once done it does make a huge difference to what gets through. I do worry there might be tweaks to make for my patch sending workflow.
Meh…I don’t trust them to do anything which is why I strictly use Gmail for spam, just like I did with Hotmail before that, and my ISPs email before that.
