Dear Ariel,
I'm well aware of your company policy.
Whether you admit it or not, this is bold SPAMming. This 'feature' should
not be available AT ALL, as it is a nuisance to the general public.
Just to give you a clear example: I'm subscribed to several mailing lists
with an average size of about 300 members. Suppose 100 people in such a
list are mailpush subscribers, and 50 out of those chose to enable your
'special feature'. Now whenever I send email to the list I will receive 50
unsolicited 'replies' from people I do not even know.
I candidly think that this 'feature' is severely limiting the growth
prospects of 'mailpush', as this it considered unethical behaviour in
broad circles of people belonging to the exact population you target your
product at. I again strongly suggest that you remove this feature.
Please forward my mail to the executive stuff of mailpush.
Sincerely,
Tuvik Beker
