That's the part that I really don't understand. If the recipient hired someone to throw away their emails, why would that possibly be my job to rectify? I sent them a legitimate email, they hired someone who promised them to throw away spam, but obviously is incompetent at doing so, so it's up to them to hire someone else!?



Power relationships. Say the recipient is the client that represents 90% of your income. And the incompetent secretary is the boss's daughter.

Is it "up to them to hire someone else"? Totally. Will they? No. Your turn. Will you bend backwards to acommodate that client or will you drop it?


I probably would have avoided ever getting dependent on them to that degree in the first place.

But, yeah, sure, I see the point--but my impression is that people automatically see it as their responsibility to figure out why someone else's email provider is throwing away their emails, regardless how much you depend on them.
