Seit Jahren wird allseits das Double-Opt-in-Verfahren empfohlen, wenn es um die Verifizierung von E-Mail-Adressen geht. Der Absender trägt im Streitfall die Beweislast dafür, dass eine Einwilligung des Empfängers vorliegt. In vielen Fällen gelingt das nur mit einem Double-Opt-in-Verfahren. Eine Entscheidung der Datenschutzbehörde Österreichs zeigt, dass es dabei nicht nur um Feinheiten geht. Fehlt ein DOI, soll es sich dabei sogar um eine Datenschutzverletzung handeln.

Verizon Media found in their research mail clients using IMAP to fetch emails that are plugged into a charger and connected to Wi-Fi aggressively prefetch all content in an email, prompting nearly all open pixels to report as “opened.” Those emails could truly be deleted by the user without being opened, but since the pixel was prefetched (not even rendered, yet still considered “open”), your data tells you otherwise.

Given all of the interest in how senders should react to bounces, two of our data-minded experts set out to find the answers.
