Email support

Hi g2arret,

There is no hijacking of emails.

If you decide to use the RSS2Email option and people subscribe, you can “claim your feed” (for free) and get full access to the emails. Please click on the “Publisher: Claim your feed”-link in the pop-up where people can subscribe to your blog.

Please email me at support at ultimatelysocial dot com so that I can talk you through the process if you need help.

Please adjust your rating for this plugin.

Kind regards,

John

are you or are you not automatically storing the email address on another server automatically without having to go through hoops?

Hi g2arret,

Publishers have a free choice to offer this service or not. If they do, then like any other RSS2Email service the emails need to be stored somewhere. Publishers have full access to those emails, and subscribers can easily unsubscribe with just one click.

Please let me know if you still have concerns – happy to talk it out.

Kind regards,

John

Not much to talk it out about…

my read is that once you get the emails you can do just about anything you want to with them without having to ask permission,

If this is true you have an issue of a discovered bad faith… what other hidden things are there? I know anyone who trusted me with their email would feel violated. wordpress needs to notify your subscribers that this can happen.

Integrity once compromised….

I have deactivated the pluggin, will now remove it… and look for a pluggin with more open policies…

Hi g2arret,

There is nothing hidden – it’s clearly stated that this service is powered that way. If you don’t like it, just don’t select this option.

To be honest it’s frustrating that we put so much work into creating a plugin like that (which we consider to be the best on the market, which took more effort than you can imagine), offer it 100% for free, and then get ratings like that… not very encouraging.

Kind regards,

John

John, kudos for following up this criticism.

I think your plugin is excellent and you’ve played open cards.

I’ve tried other plugins and there isn’t anything better than yours. Amazing functionality.

I appreciate the hard work you’ve put into this.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot Craig! ??

It is what it is, I am done with this issue and now know to define what happens to the emails processed thru the plugins. Privacy is dead you know, so get over it… it still bothers me that I could have unknowingly been giving emails entrusted to me to even a great plugin…

Ok, thanks g2arret. Could you please do us a favor and adjust the rating?
