• avoids "Bridgewebs" being blacklisted
• provides better bounce email detection
• provides an unsubscribe option
• provides better email analysis for Bridgewebs

detects whether an email has been read.  A trick of the trade is to insert an image (the Bridgewebs Icon) in the email and then the email service can track whether an email has been opened, thus identifying email addresses in use
