Welcome and thank you for your interest!

We are currently looking for people to participate in our Opal project.

What is the project about?
The purpose of this project is to collect corporate emails which you received from businesses or organizations to help improve anti-spam and email filtering technology. A corporate email usually includes the business name or brand of a company or business, e.g. example@transperfect.com, example@yatra.com, etc.
The emails should not be older than 17th of October 2020 and should be only in English.

We will be accepting emails from two different categories:

• Time-Sensitive emails: An email sent to an individual recipient where delivery at a specific point in time directly influences the value of the message.

The emails must have the following attributes:

As payment method, we offer PayPal, Gift Card, and Wire Transfer according to your preference and location.
Please note that all submissions will be checked by our Quality Assurance team and compensation will be provided for fully completed and accepted assets of at least 5 emails.
