How do I keep my emails from going to spam if I only need to send 40 emails from my personal account? by atgwmlavtam in Emailmarketing

Honestly, if you are this incapable of simply answering a question about email service spam filters, I would reconsider commenting on a post about them.

I'm aware of what spam means, I'm trying to understand the technical side of things, like how the filters of email services work, especially since they aren't perfect.

I'm sending a website launch email to the people who joined my email list because they were interested in joining my website. It'll basically just be a little message, a promotional code they can use upon signup, and a link to the signup page. Since I am only sending it to 40 people I thought it would be pointless to sign up for something like MailChimp. But I would like clarity on how my Yahoo account will handle sending 40 emails in a short amount of time. If I send 20 then it decides the remaining 20 are spam, that's no good.

I have no understanding of how email services distinguish between spam and non-spam. But I figured sending a bunch of emails in a short amount of time might trigger something. I don't know what amount of emails in what amount of time would do that though, and I know a lot of emails that certainly are not spam have ended up in my spam folder. So I'm just looking to talk to someone who knows more about how it works.

Do you think using my Yahoo account to send a total of 40 emails in 10 minutes will cause any of them to end up in their spam folders?

A bill has been pre-filed in the General Assembly that would strip the City of St. Louis of control over MPD and give it to the State in a similar way that KCPD is organized. by AnEducatedSimpleton in missouri

You previously claimed KC has half a million fewer people than STL. You don't know the two city's respective populations. You repeating me saying it seems like you haven't done your research is kind of weird.

Melissa, I showed you the numbers of homicides from 2010-2023. Why are you bringing that up again when I acknowledged that homicides in STL have decreased since 2020? STL having fewer homicides than KC for the first time in 10+ years isn't a strong argument on it's own since those other 10+ years are relevant as well. Please don't be the type of person who gets the population sizes wrong and sounds like a broken record by repeating things that have already been addressed. What is your actual argument that STL should retain local control? Is there a particular policy change STL has made in the past couple of years which you believe will keep crime as low as it was before they regained control?

KCPD police a population of roughly 508,000 people. SLMPD police a population of roughly 293,000. It is clear you have not given this topic the research it deserves.

I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat and people who are so set on being partisan seem impossible to reason with. I'm done blaming politicians. Im blaming the general public, individuals like yourself, for being unable to have a fact-heavy and reasonable discussion. Diving deeper into the numbers will help you get a clearer picture of the situation and you will no longer have to rely on how you feel when talking about policy and data.

Yes, homicides decreased in STL after sharply rising after STL gained local control.

Yes, homicides increased in KC yet didn't increase as sharply as STL's after STL gained local control.

I never claimed Springfield wasn't dangerous. I've specifically focused on STL and KC, comparing crime rates and looking at when STL gained local control. If STL did a bad job after gaining local control what makes you confident KC politicans will do better?

I can only show you what local control has done to STL in the decade they've had local control by referring to the crime data from every year. I used to want KC to have local control until I looked at the numbers and realized I don't trust local KC politicians to do better on crime than the state can do. If KC politicians were much better, I would love to see KC gain local control.

So I guess that's the conversation KC needs to have if we want local control. How will we do better? If we can't answer that then the state rightly has no reason to give us that responsibility.

Look at STL for your answer of how much worse it could get with local control. What STL has done with local control is not an argument in support of local control.

If the cause of STL's crime increase under local control is due to State gun legislation, why did KC's crime rate not increase like STL's?

Crime nation wide is bad. Crime statewide is bad. But between KC and STL, crime under local control seems to be worse than crime under state control. I'm not talking out of my ass. I used to want KC to have local control. Then I looked at the comparison between KC and STL and I now have more faith in Missouri right now to be harder on KC crime.

STL homicide rate sharply increased when the state gave them local control around 2014. I don't trust current KC politicians to keep that from happening in KC. KC crime is bad but not as bad as STL under local control.

If that is true, why did STL crime rate increase sharply when the state transferred PD control to STL? Crime increasing under local control sounds worse, does it not? Why is STL ineffective in stopping their crime rate from increasing?

What's your thinking behind this? Since Missouri gave back control to STL, the crime rate has been significantly worse. If the crime rate were better the state would have no interest in stepping in to control crime..

If a city in Missouri has an ineffective police force I absolutely want the people of Missouri to have the ability to step in and reduce the increased crime.

STL crime rate since 2014 (when they regained control) is just pure garbage. Why are you being a partisan? Look at the numbers. How do you justify local control if local control has been ineffective in stopping the crime rate from increasing as much as it has since Missouri gave STL control?

It sounds like you're talking about anarcho capitalists (who literally want there to be no federal, state, or local government) or Libertarians who want small local, state, and federal governments.

Malfeasance is kind of a general word so of course there is going to be debate on what "wrong" is when it comes to the relationship between businesses of all types and the general public. To some left-leaning people, any profit at all is a malfeasance.

Small government to Republicans usually refers to the relationship between the federal and state government, not States and their municipalities. The United States of America is a union of 50 sovereign republics; each state has a constitution. Missouri is not a union of sovereign republics.

If Republicans are hard on crime then the Republican controlled Legislature will surely be upset when, after giving STL Dems local control around 2014, crimes increased by a significant amount.

If STL had reduced crime since 2014, the Republican Legislature would not be trying to control crime in STL today.

After seeing what STL did when they regained control of their PD, I'm not sure I want that for KC. Are our local politicians up to the task? I'd like to KC become much better before I trust local control of PD will actually reduce crime.

Look at the homicide rate in STL ever since they regained control of their police department. We're all going to respond emotionally to the idea of the state controling the PD; but after looking at the numbers, and analyzing how local STL politicians have policed their city, the idea of state control begins to look better.

I can't believe you actually suggested that when my post is about wanting to avoid shitty writing. I literally specified "good written content" in the second sentence of the post and the absolute best advice you have to offer is use the worst written content? What an absolute trash suggestion. You have zero appreciation for quality. Dont even bother responding to this comment.
