I'm hypersensitive on this. I got wrapped around the axle with cautious corporate lawyers when some software I designed could be configured to send out surveys that a lawyer thought could be used as a commercial solicitation. Can't remember the outcome, but I lost sleep over it.

I'm not a lawyer, so my opinion doesn't count, but it is plausible to me that ignoring spam feedback could be construed as ignoring an opt-out request, which is prohibited by some laws, like Canada, Washington, and California. However, all the spam laws I've read only apply to commercial email, which I would imagine doesn't appear often on groups.io. -----Original Message-----

I think Yahoo Groups does not implement any Feedback Loops. That's because I've never heard of a Yahoo Groups member being removed for that reason, and because the mechanism itself, as I understand it, is a relatively recent development (newer than the end of Yahoo Groups development).
