Sounds great, won't work. Nobody who's in the system wants it changed. The only people willing to even work in the system are corrupt or unable to cope outside of the system.

It's true. You can only win an election with piles of money. With gerrymandering and lying. The US government is a train wreck

Well it's true in the us, Russia, china, Australia. That's not everywhere but that is quite a lot of ground.

A contract won't stop him from suing you.

Maybe she just did it for the money.

The only kind of people the government can attract are buffoons that can't be successful elsewhere.

There's an entire section of the post office devoted to verification. I can guarantee you that they are checking this.

Indeed. The only relief will be the rich factory owners paying livable wages to the public via taxation.

looks like they just need to start clicking a lower random percentage.

I agree, but I think it's best to just have an email address right at the top of the email for a customer to reply to, or use the reply-to headers.

When you have tens of thousands of customers that's a lot of emails.

If you want to waste money on resolving 6 month out of date vacation replies than be my guest.

TLDR, an article by someone who doesn't know how email works nor how companies use email queues.

or.. you know, a reply-to header where real emails can be sent to...

Having worked in email queues, filters are nowhere near good enough. Nothing is more infuriating than wasting hours on bounces.

I've worked email queues. The customer's account will be full of auto-responders and it'll be impossible to find the real communications.

Having managed email queues, the no reply email is essential, because everyone and their uncle uses auto replies. That said, I'm all for including a real email address somewhere so a user can reply.
