A filter that sends a notice is not a second solo.

Answer A filter that sends a notice is not a second solo. RFC 5436 describes a Sieve notification that goes out by email. The document is titled Sieve Notification Mechanism: mailto. One automatic notice is not another rented send, and it is not permission to mail a new crowd. That is a fact about mail software or about an old specification. It is not a solo ad price, a rank, or proof that a stranger opted in.

Cream stationery and a teal accent on a dark navy desk — A notice can leave by mail. It is not a second rented letter.

The note that started this: RFC 5436, Sieve Notification Mechanism: mailto, RFC 5436.

A rented send is one letter to someone else's list. A mailto notification is a filter sending a notice by email because the filter was set to do that. The notice may look like mail, because it is mail. Looking like mail does not make it a solo ad. It was not the creative you approved, it was not aimed as your rented placement, and it does not recruit a new crowd you are allowed to mail.

Keep the invoice on the letter you actually ordered. When you buy solo ads, the order should say one letter, one list, one sending domain, and a refund line. If a seller adds a filter's notice as a bonus send, they are adding mail software and calling it inventory. Ask them to remove it. You do not want a second bill for a notice, and you do not want the notice used as permission to mail people who were not on the list you named.

What does RFC 5436 describe?

RFC 5436 describes a Sieve notification that goes out by email. One automatic notice is not another rented send, and it is not permission to mail a new crowd. The document is titled Sieve Notification Mechanism: mailto.

Buyers should be suspicious of anything described as an extra email that the buyer did not write. Your creative is the rented letter. A notice the filter emits is the filter talking. It may go out by email. If it was not in the order, it is not yours to claim and not theirs to bill. Ask to see the creative that will actually be sent as the solo. If the only extra artifact is a notice, you do not have an extra solo.

Sellers should not invoice the notice and should not widen the audience because of it. One automatic notice is not another rented send. It is not permission to mail a new crowd. If your filter emails a notice to an operator, that operator is not a new segment you can sell. If you tell the buyer the notice means you may mail more people, you have invented permission the document does not grant.

The order names one rented letter, not a filter notice.
The notice was not billed as a second placement.
No new crowd was added because a notice went out.
The list, the sending domain, and the refund line are written down.

Is a filter notice a second solo?

No. A filter that sends a notice is not a second solo. The notice is automatic mail from a filter. It is not a letter you rented, and it is not a second placement on the list you named.

Mail from a filter can confuse a report. Something was sent. Someone may have received a notice. Neither fact is your creative landing as a rented letter. Do not let the existence of outgoing notice mail become a story about a second drop. Ask what the body of that mail was. If it was not the offer you approved, it is not your send.

The seller who runs the filter should be able to say where notices go and that those destinations are not the buyer's list. Say it before the buyer discovers an extra message and calls it either a gift or a problem. A gift they did not approve is still a different letter. A problem they did not agree to is what the refund line is for.

What is still not permission to mail a new crowd?

One automatic notice is not permission to mail a new crowd. A buyer still has to name the list, the sending domain, and the refund line. The notice is not proof that a stranger opted in.

Permission, for this desk, is the list you named. People who were not on that list are not suddenly available because a filter sent a notice. The notice is not proof they opted in. If a seller offers a wider send on the back of the notice, they are selling a crowd the document does not know. Refuse the wider send. Keep the original list, or walk away.

Price the one letter you can read, and only that letter. solo ad pricing is a conversation about that letter, the list, and the domain, not about automatic notices. RFC 5436 stays a fact about a notification that goes out by email. A filter that sends a notice is not a second solo, and it is not permission to mail a new crowd.
