I got this from Amazon the other day Now we can’t send using SES anymore I think this happened because of bots making subscription requests Even using 9 6 0 we are getting about 10 unconfirmed requests a day Some of these people are complaining when they get the unsolicited confirmation requests

Can you gather some data about this? I'd rather not go on hunches, if that seems prudent to you

I really think you should at least offer a Captcha option on the signup form

I encourage you to step up to the plate and commission the feature! I don't think it's a really great idea, myself

Your current complaint rate is 1% This is measured over the last 12,290 eligible emails* you sent, spanning over approximately the last 38 1 days We expect our senders' complaint rates to remain below 0 1% Senders with a complaint rate exceeding 0 5% risk suspension

If I'm reading this right, you have a 130 complaints?! That seem excessive, for sure Are you sure these are all from messages sent by Dada Mail, or there's not other things you can do to stop this? Anything you've tried? DO you have any IP blocks on the web server side, or any protection on that end? How large/busy is your list? I'd like to know what the exact behavior that caused this is It seems like it's a little more orchestrated then addresses just trying to subscribe

Surely, something else can be done, here Love (again) to see some data

Apparently Mail Chimp has some code that blocks bots Below is a snippet Maybe there is some way you can use this information Of course you would need your own code that handles this in some way

Yeah, I guess I can do something like that The bad side is that it would break existing subscription forms
