MailTrack.io

Post by mynameisnotspam »

I recently got a email about a CL ad and the email had a MailTrack.io signature.
According to "MailTrack.io" it, "MailTrack, like other read receipt extensions, puts a tiny image in the outgoing email that displays when a recipient opens the email. " and "it not only shows if the email was read, but with which device it was first read on".

Being Craigslist it supposed to be anonymous, I would think it should be blocked, along with any other trackers like this.

Personally I have images disabled but I'd imagine many do not.

Can easylist block this type of privacy concern?

Thanks

lol the mailtrack reveals the senders real email.
It deserves to be blocked, very sloppy.

It's href="..." link (nothing is loaded in the background), this will not track you only if you voluntarily click the link.

I saw no tracker from the gmail address login, or the report.
