What exactly are the news here? I see three points but fail to comprehend them, because I thought all those things were a norm for a long while:

1. Is it the news that Google still accepted bulk volumes of unauthenticated mails in 2023? If that's true - finally, good riddance. Although I believe most spam those days comes from legit hacked domains.

2. Am I reading this right that List-Unsubscribe and/or unsubscription link is going to be required for high-volume senders, marketing and transactional? That's good to hear, although - again - it's hard to believe this is a requirement only now. I thought everyone with at least a sliver of honesty already had those for a long while.

3. Enforce low spam report ratio? It's news to me that the "report spam" buttons didn't behave that way already, I assumed that if users actively report then domain gets blocked (unless it's whitelisted, e.g. to defend from a false reporting DoS attack).



> Is it the news that Google still accepted bulk volumes of unauthenticated mails in 2023

Apparently so. I just read through this earlier today, and it's kinda insane how broken email is. Kinda remains me of the "You go to jail" meme, believe it or not, straight to inbox.
