Count your kittens before your click.
While muddling my way through a thousand or so autoreplies after sending out a Veer email newsletter, I came across what has got to be the strangest (and yet, the cutest) verification message ever. This is definitely one way to smack down the screen scrapers and dictbots that spammers use to get around sender verification systems.
Aside from this sickeningly sweet image, I located a few more kittenesque puffballs in the MailFrontier tutorial, as well as a couple of snoozing puppy-like objects. So, does MailFrontier use any other challenge-response messages illustrated in this way? Let me know if you’ve seen any in your travels.
