  1. Hi everyone, Motormile had recently started bombarding me with scary-looking emails. These emails were really annoying, as no matter how many times I replied to them, MMF ignored me and continued to send them! Fortunately for me, I'm quite technical, and I realised that I could bypass MMF altogether and have their email provider cut them off instead. Background: MMF use a company called SendGrid to send their emails and track the details (e.g. is the address correct, has the recipient opened it etc. etc.). Now, companies like SendGrid are *crazy* about spam, because if they let spammers use their service, other email services - e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail etc. - will become more and more likely to either tag their emails as spam, or refuse to deliver them altogether! What you need to do is forward on the details of a recent AUTOMATED email (e.g. one their "we're *so* going to visit you at home!" notifications) on to SendGrid's abuse department. IMPORTANT: in your must include what's known as the "full headers" from the email. Here's a guide on how to do so: -- link removed because I don't have enough posts, can a mod fix this up for me please? -- kb.mediatemple.net/questions/893/How+do+I+view+email+headers+for+a+message%3F Here're the full steps: 1. Receive automated email from MMF 2. Get the "full headers" from the email, as described above 3. Forward the email, along with these headers to SendGrid's abuse department, abuse[at]sendgrid.com and webpage here: sendgrid.com/report_spam I included a quick note - "These people are bombarding me with these emails and ignoring my replies to them" - and within 24 hours, all emails from MMF stopped... and no more have been received over the last couple of months As a bonus, every spam report SendGrid receives makes it more and more difficult for MMF to continue using them. And while swapping out email service providers isn't a huge huge task, it's still rather painful should MMF need to do so Enjoy!
