There are more use cases for sending email other than marketing. We don't like sending them, but many customers prefer to have transactional information (for instance, an audit has been done in some factory plant you manage) and periodic reports come to their mailbox instead of having to log in to some web app to see it.

It always a pain point and someone somewhere is certainly not receiving something they feel they should. These services help because of how complex the email ecosystem has become with layers of identity and reputation and such.

Kewl. There are "use cases".

That doesn't work for me; I am not a "use-case". I'm an individual person, and my choice is to not receive unsolicited advertising. Marketers don't seem to understand that some people object to receiving "helpful product suggestions" all through the day.

>>KERPLUNK<< another catalogue book just fell through the letterbox, and is destined for the recycling bin. Dammit, save me the trouble; just put it in the bin yourself, it's just by the front door. Hell, the bin's big enough; put the whole batch in my bin, end your shift, and go back to bed.

"We don't like sending them"

This sounds like you're saying it's a nasty job, but someone has to do it - like cleaning toilets, or assassinating tyrants.

Just stop.

I have never managed any factory plants. I don't plan to. This is not a "pain point"; it's abuse, and an obvious case of the Tragedy Of The Commons.
