Email tracking in general is cursed. I keep getting letters from a few companies because “you’re not receiving our emails.” No, I’m just blocking your 14 hidden pixels and not clicking your fucking awstrack.me URLs.
Shout out to Postmark for allowing me (as a web developer) to not spy on my users by rewriting everything as a tracking link.
I use Apple’s Mail on iOS and macOS that block external assets by default. But I also block all that trash via DNS too. I use Blocky loaded with tons of blocklists.

Could you tell me more about those hidden pixels? How do I block them?

Wait they send you a physical letter?

A creditor and some other random company have done that.
