Stupid ESP Watch Part II: Great Points

09/22/09

Matt Blumberg, CEO and chairman of e-mail deliverability firm Return Path, was kind enough in a blog post last week to give praise and link to a piece that appeared here criticizing e-mail service providers who claim to have high e-mail delivery rates.

In my original piece, I had written that “our delivery rates are very high” is a statement has no place in a pitch from an e-mail service provider.

Why? Because the main factors that affect deliverability—spam complaints, hitting too many dead addresses and spam traps—are all within the list owner’s control.
