Trash Mailer

For a clean mailbox, it's a good way to use a temporary email address to sign up for some "spamming" programs.
I used to use a "for spam" address for online games, buyers, whatever I was suspicious of. After so many years, I had to change them several times, because such kind of mailboxes becomes very full much sooner as you can expect.
Nowadays, the life is easier and more colorful. We can find so called "trash mailer" and create an email address as you wish. Independent. uncomplicated, fast and carefree :)

I found this list of trash mailer domains

http://www.mogelmail.de/

It's nonsense for Marketers to send Emails to those addresses. No one can make money from that, so far I know.
I block all trash mailer domains I can find, what about you?

X-Recruiting

Every time i check into the header of Groupon Newsletters, i have to laugh.
It's so funny to see such a line of X-header


As long as you can figure out how to look up a header of an email, you are qualified to work with Groupon in the technical team.

I don't know how to add an X-header in Rocketman, the self-developed platform by Groupon, for Groupon to send massive number of Emails to all over the world.
However, one thing i still remember, Groupon gave up DOI world wide except in Germany immediately, after the whole deliverability team (re-)united in Chicago. They decided to run their own business and started sending Emails from there.

I am still a big fan of Groupon ;)
