[Foundation-l] Wikimedia Referendum 2011 mailout — issues

[Andrew Garrett]

Hi all,

I've just started sending out over 750,000 emails to folks who are
eligible to vote in our Wikimedia Referendum. I've learned from past
mailouts in trying to exclude more bots, multiple accounts and folks
who've already voted. However, if you receive an email which doesn't
apply to you (for example, if you're not eligible to vote, or you've
requested to be excluded from such mailouts), or if there's a problem
with the email that you receive (for example, it's in the wrong
language), I've set up a page [1] where you can report it. Remember
that you can always opt out from all future mailings [2].

I'm hoping that having a central page for this information will help
in investigating the issues associated with errant mail, and allow
future mail to be better targetted.

Thanks a lot for your help,

—Andrew
