| Aug 4, 2014 at 12:47 | comment | added | andrewniesen | Hey @paul I totally agree in principle. I should say that I have abstracted this question; we're actually doing an action on a time interval that is not sending emails; I "changed the names to protect the innocent" because the actual action is proprietary and is confidential. For the record I think spam is ruining email. | |

| Aug 4, 2014 at 2:36 | comment | added | Paul | I'm not sure the time is something I would ever look at to see if I thought something was being sent by a human. If I were, I would guess I would maybe be tipped off if it were a round number. Have you considered just having the program wait a random number of minutes after it makes the relevant determination before firing off the e-mail? Alternately, don't do it at all, per @whuber. I'd be furious if someone sent me 3 e-mails a week about setting up my profile. | |

| Aug 3, 2014 at 17:24 | comment | added | whuber♦ | Although it's a good statistical question, if I were at the receiving end of this I would likely flag you as a spammer after the end of the first couple of weeks and discontinue any relationship with you. If there's any chance your new customers could perceive these contacts as negatively as I do, you might consider rolling out this program with a small sample of the population first. | |
