It's interesting that this is missing a lot of major enterprise marketing email providers.
The author clearly isn't subscribing to things like Best Buy's weekly deal email, or Target cart reminders.

The last big Gmail UI update broke it, but most of the ESP identification strategies probably still work: https://github.com/nquinlan/Email-Intelligence/blob/master/c...
Let me know if we can help.
The grandparent was worried about the extension stealing his email's contents.
I think the app store should warn that a page can send data to any website if it has permission to modify any page.
This is no more risky than any other extension whose permissions include `https://mail.google.com/`. Anecdotally, that probably includes most extensions seeing as how most of the ones I come across request `<all_urls>` whether or not they need it (not that that's okay).
In any case it's open source, so you can download it, audit the code, and install it locally to prevent auto-updating.
Yes, Gmail makes it harder than it should be to use the email client of your choice. But that's not a problem with email clients. That's a problem with Gmail. It's far from the only one.
I don't think that will be interesting for the author given where he's based. (I first assumed Belgium due to the domain's TLD, but it's actually Nigeria)
I'm subscribed to some marketing emails, but I delete them after reading them. I save transactional emails.
* Salesforce * IBM * Contact Contact * Campaign Monitor * HubSpot * ActiveCampaign
etc etc
It can be for various reasons:
* They can use these services themselves
* They can support full customization of domains, including for the "message-id" and the "received" headers.
I'm working as SRE in a fairly large marketing provider (not sure in term of %, but we provide services for quite a few large brands sending several millions emails per day), and we do this full customization by default. There are other way to recognize us (other headers in the email or the pattern for the tracked url for example), but the one described in the article will not work.
It would also be interesting to be able to detect which MTA is used by these service providers. Is it an in-house one or an off the shelf one? The two off the shelf ones I know for mass sending are Momentum and PowerMTA which are both owned by Sparkpost but they might be others.
Who on earth, that knows how to unsubscribe, would ever subscribe to spam?
