[NNagain] An Amtrak trip through the real world yesterday

[rjmcmahon]

I received Nathan's email through my personal server & MTA.

I've been running my own MTA since 2000. It's a non trivial amount of 
work to keep it useful & working. Many list providers went out of 
business likely because the cost to run them exceeded revenues.

The majors read everyone's email via ML. One may need to get through may 
be to make sure the content of an email will trigger a high value 
targeted ad so the email has monetary value for the "free" email service 
provider. We get what we get when somebody else actually pays our bills. 
Every email sent is a customer match opportunity which suggests the 
incentives are less on source side pays and more on source side triggers 
ads.
