AOL buys Mailblocks
Now I don't normally point to acquisition news, but this one is a biggie. AOL intends to implement Mailblocks' challenge/response technology across its email services (as an option).
Think about that for a moment.
Up until now, nobody had a problem with C/R because of the lack of addresses using that functionality. But if AOL subscribers use it in a big way, that's a whole heap of manual confirmations that broadcast mailers will need to do (unless they can bypass the CR with a whitelisting?).
