Two recent #CASL 🇨🇦 undertakings resulted in $700,000 in payments. The common issues? Consent, unsubscribe mechanisms, and honouring unsubscribe requests. My latest EmailKarma article looks at both cases and what senders should review now. buff.ly/xUl2ibK #EmailMarketing #EmailDeliverability

Gmail changed the rules. Yahoo did too. Who’s next? DMARCbis, DKIM2, blocklists, cold email, and Postmaster Tools. At #CaES26, @emailkarma.com, Raymond Dijkxhoorn, Attila Domokos & MJ Sohn sort out what matters. No 101. No pitches. Sept 24, Toronto: 🎟️ buff.ly/iq3u3Co

New blocklist alert: Validity's Heatwave flags domains using fake engagement to fast-track cold email reputation. Already 1M+ domains caught. M3AAWG and Spamhaus have both called this practice out. Worth a check if you use outreach vendors. 🔥 Read more: buff.ly/hi0VEgz #EmailGeeks

DMARC has officially become an Internet Standard. The new standards, often called #DMARCbis, retire several legacy tags, add new options, and replace Public Suffix List (PSL) lookups. I put together a practical guide on what to review in your DMARC records: buff.ly/bsMHV1C #EmailGeeks

Might as well have them turn off email for minors while they are at it. Someone might use it for social reasons.

Google’s new ‘AI inbox’ was enabled at work, turning it off was the easiest decision I made all day. Why can’t these features be optin vs just enabling then. (And yes I understand the idea most people just leave the defaults on). Settings > Inbox > way at the bottom is the disable option.

Took me slightly longer than expected to fix - mostly due to jet lag and sleep deprivation - but we are all good now. Should be fixed for the foreseeable future.

This is one of my challenges with some of the required training modules I’ve seen in the past. I often have a different opinion on the importance of an item or believe that ‘all the above’ is valid when they often look for a single ‘best answer’.

As someone who has suffered random nosebleeds hydrogen peroxide is one solution for fabric. We also use a product called Folex for cleaning up after our pets when there is an accident in the house. Good for wine, blood, pet stains, and lots of other things. I’d likely try that if needed.

Unfortunate :( but you said it was a 2017 (?) , so you got a lot of time with it. Good luck finding the right replacement, Chair shopping is one of my least favourite things.

Matthew V - EmailKarma 🇨🇦 @emailkarma.com · 06/03/2026

Maybe you could get replacement Hydraulics? Seems they sell parts on their website? $60 vs a few hundred for a replacement sounds like a bargain.
