They're technically not a spam company. And technically they don't do scam spam.
So.. I guess they do at least one technicality now?

When email comes to an email box that isn't published from them and they don't respond when advised then they are considered a SPAM company.
If you are in the business of mass mailing then you better be extra vigilant.
The nice thing of controlling your domain is that you can block companies like this very easily.

MailChimp cant even bother to verify if their IPs are authorized via SPF/DMARC/DKIM before sending on behalf of customers. It's amazing how they manage to plug up my mailq. On a side note: I hate companies who set quarantine as the DMARC failure mode.

Unlike larger companies, like Facebook or Twitter, there's no arguing that mailchimp is an essential service, unique, a monopoly, subsidized by the government, or a town square. Even if you count them entirely as their parent company, Intuit, you can't make those arguments.
You could make a case that any company that does this should have to have an easy to find banner. You know "we support left-ish causes of the day, total causeheads fo

monkey spammers blocking crypto? (Score:3)
I guess the monkey spammers didn't get paid enough to blast out someone's bullshit.
Mail chimp got firewalled years ago at my end. They're just another spam for hire group. They ignore all complaints and don't give a damn if their pet spammer has a dirty list as long as the check clears.
Happened to me, it's against their TOS (Score:1)
Happened to me in October of last year. I was using their web builder and list management when I pivoted my startup to include a reward token. I had not even sent an email via the site, just managed my signup list. It did not matter, they promptly kicked me off in under 48 hours with no warning. They just took the site down and blocked sending. At least I got my list out, would not recommend them.
