Background
I am looking for some clarity when handling feedback notifications from Amazon SES. In particular, in the following scenario:
- "notificationType" - "Complaint"
- The complaint contains a feedback report.
- "complaintsFeedbackType" is "non-spam"
All the Amazon SAS documentation that I read indicates that the correct action when receiving a notification of a complaint is to prevent any future dispatch to the recipient in question, but does not specifically address this scenario.
RFC 6430 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6430 ) describes this type of feedback as follows:
Feedback Type Name: Non-Spam
Description: Indicates that the reporting entity does not consider the message as spam. This can be used to correct a message that was incorrectly marked or classified as spam.
It also indicates the following:
The abuse and non-spam feedback types can be taken as opposites.
Thoughts
It seems that preventing future sending to this recipient is the wrong action, because the recipient (if I interpret the โentityโ correctly) specifically determined that this is not spam.
