   Apparently since the release of ChatGPT our emails from our sales people are getting blocked for being spam.
   
   Almost like writing weird generic spam instead of an email gets your domain blocked

     We're a newer startup and I'm realizing that this might actually get us blacklisted

     And now the team that has been bragging about how they write all their emails via ChatGPT is claiming they don't use ChatGPT at all
     
     Ok - blacklist our emails

     @thecorodon I know right
     
     If we get our domain added to all the RBLs then we can just shut down the company I can find a new job and my stock options can be worthless - makes the Startup life go faster

     Ugh. May this nonsense hasten to its obvious conclusion, skipping as many intermediate steps as possible.

     @kicou This is emails directly to prospects - rather than like, a mail blast...
     
     So yes, fire 'em all

     @silverwizard are we talking about general emails (like direct communication with customers and prospects), or marketing campaign/mailing lists?

     If the latter, you may consider using a service that is dedicated to this type of messaging (Sengrid, Mailchimp, whatever). It will have its own DKIM signature and a different origin (of course present in SPF records), and would make human, hand-crafted artisan messages written with love less likely to be blocked by a blanket RBL listing.

     If the former, then maybe you don't need salespeople after all. Just an OpenAI API subscription and a couple of scripts.
