Giving away the secrets of 99.3% email delivery

Also not mentioned is monitoring if your users actually read the emails. A web bug will work (some of the time) as will checks to see if users ever respond (eg if there is a link to click for full details) or login to the site after email receipt.

LinkedIn noticed that I never read one of the group messages I was getting and so switched to a far more infrequent digest of highlights. I think they may even have unsubcribed me completely from one group.

re: Linkedin: I found it hard to believe. I receive the same emails from them for years and most do not open /straight delete. and they never stop.

They are indeed inconsistent. They did the throttling for me for a few groups while others I never read keep on going. At some point I need to figure out how to unsubscribe, but it is currently quicker to hit delete (unread).
