People who have been part of EVE universe in the past still receive EVE newsletter unless they choose to unsubscribe it or I think they still get newsletter.
I got idea about sending EVE mail to same real life email address as EVE newsletter. There would naturally be link to unsubscribe this connection if receiver don't want to receive EVE mail. Personal EVE letters often have interesting content and this would keep old subscriber - EVE connection alive. Naturally no notifications would be send to email just personal EVE letters if someone writes them to old subscribers avatar.
Comments are welcome for my idea!

This might be amusing. I'd +1 it if it was restricted to only mail sent directly to that character, rather than mailing lists and corp/alliance mails.

What might also be something thats worth looking into is if you could make it so that you could use something like thunderbird or outlook to "dial into" your eve mails... I dont THINK it should be that difficult now that the eve gate exists...

Sure, because no one in this game would ever send mass amounts of mail to you if they could flood your RL e-mail.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.

Would be logs of this and you report them for harassment, pretty easy. |

Each person only send one or two mails, which is not herassment.

2 easy ways to keep this from happening. 1 for CCP, 1 for the player.
CCP can make this limited to people that you put on a list, they can allow you to add alliances and corps as a whole with a single click to save time but it would require you to go in and set up who all can message you this way.
You as the player can set up a email specifically to receive these emails, which I think would be the smart thing to do anyways. |

Sounds like another of those "would require a team of programmers 6 months of work to save you 10 seconds" ideas.
Doesn't take long to sign into eve-gate, or even the game itself, to check your messages in game.
Oh, and there's always the option of you providing your e-mail to those you feel require the ability to contact you out of game.

This really. Give rl e-mail to trusted sources so you handle the whole spam aspect that way. Tell Player A not to spam the crap out of you with banal stupid crap and its done. Don't have someone, just 1, to trust for this in the crew....well then its not a good sign about that home tbh,
But that's me really. Eve is a game. I don't even use many methods to get my work e-mail after hours. Much to the chagrin of the bosses. Not in my job description to be that available all the time via mail and sure as hell not paid enough to be motivated to work to even check it for free. Needed after hours they know the digits and can call. Magic words "OT has been approved" makes stuff happen. Mail received after quitting time....mail that will be dealt with 0730 next working day timeframe lol.
Techinical problems wise it takes one bad day of spamming to get CCP reported and blacklisted by many major spam filter appliance vendors. Funny thing about blacklists.....they are easy to get on, much harder to get off of them though. Even funnier is sometimes you don't know you are blacklisted. I don't with my proofpoint system follow up every mail in its spam traps. None of my clients puts in a ticket saying they are not getting mail from a source....after a waiting period that mail is dropped if the sender stays in the blacklist side of the house. Why we pay so much for maintenance fees....we trust proofpoint and their matrices to limit spam. So far they have not let us down.
Options to turn it off won't help if enough players get this right away and have it sent to the bit bucket. Companies like proofpooint don't go oh they must be having a bad day. I have seen proofpoint blacklist a yahoo mail cluster just like that. It was having a bad day....proofpoint did not care and straight to blacklist and block they went. Now any other yahoo cluster was fine, just this one shut down hard for flow.
So until yahoo resolved their issues...the advice given to clients was change online mail or just resend in yahoo and hope you get a different cluster (they load balance). The final funny thing about spam filtering....its on the mail sender to fix themselves then petition the spam filter vendor. The vendor does not work with you on this, you have to care about your blacklist status. Proofpoint will leave you there until you care enough to fix that. You fix, you petition them, they verify and push updates to subscribers appliances if cleared of issue , then watch you again
This would be the stuff ccp has to track, daily, with increase mail flow. Vice now where mail flows nicely. CCP wisely doesn't even spam the hey come back mail for all my dead accounts. Out of 3 retired accounts I only see this mail for 1 of them once in a while. Never have I seen all 3 mailed same time. |
