A final thought to email in 2025:

If you require a login to unsubscribe there is a significant chance people will just report your emails as spam as it's easier and faster than hoping a password reset email shows.

I think I’m all done my Christmas shopping. Just need a few deliveries to arrive and then take a full accounting of the goods.

Trying to be prepared this year.

I’m a firm believer that all horses and video games are actually just mythical creatures. They show up from anywhere out of the blue when you call them whether you just climbed the cliff or Fast travelled to another part of the map.

Learned some pretty depressing information from a local teacher yesterday.

She said about 50% of high schools students are basically illiterate now or read at a GR 5 level.

They play audio books in English because the kids can’t read the actual books. 😢

It really is the spooky season - 4 well crafted Phishing emails in my inbox today.

Stay safe out there - if something feels off about a message, think twice about clicking that link.

This should tell you why even smaller senders need to have valid #DMARC record (at enforcement) that protects their brand... Everyone it a potential target for spoofing, or impersonation.

p=none is a good starting place, but your journey should be to p=quarantine, then possibly even p=reject.

Yahoo’s SenderHub gives marketers a new way to see how their emails perform. Pair it with SNDS and Google Postmaster Tools for a clearer, three-provider view of your reputation and engagement.

Pushed a patch to the New BIMI validation tools (v1.0.4).

Hoping it will resolve the Ajax error that was happening with v1.0.3.

Every year I get "Vote for me spam" from people wanting to be board members at the @cira.ca

Non-CASL compliant - no unsub, no postal, NO CONSENT.

It's like people think #CASL isn't a thing.
