We are currently looking for people to participate in our Saturn 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 1st of January 2021 and should be only in English.

If you contributed in the past to our Opal I and Opal II projects, please note that you cannot deliver the same emails for Saturn. The email domains needed for Saturn will be shared by our production team along with the project instructions once you are selected.

Task description:

You will share the emails in .eml or .msg formats from your personal computer (desktop or laptop), using our DataForce proprietary platform. You may submit a total of 50 emails.

There are 2 types of emails needed for this project, time-sensitive emails and transactional emails. Time-sensitive emails are emails sent to an individual recipient where delivery at a specific point in time directly influences the value of the message.

These are usually emails that users prefer to see in their inbox so they can act within a certain time window.

For example, a meeting invitation from a company, a power outage in your house on a specific day sent by your network provider or a sudden change in flight terminal on a coming trip sent by the airline. Below the 6 categories of time-sensitive emails that we are currently collecting:

• Travel Updates

• Utility & Service Notices

• Calendar updates

• Reminders

• Digital Signature

• Lease & Property notices

Transactional emails

are emails sent to one individual at a time. They specify recent transactions, financial statements, shipment deliveries, receipts of purchases and travel bookings. Below the 6 categories of transactional emails that we are currently collecting:

• Travel/Reservation confirmations  

• Order Confirmation  

• Order Receipt  

• Shipments  

• Bill Statement / Payment  

• Bank Statements/ Updates

Regardless of the email category, each email must have the following attributes: 

• Subject line should consist of a minimum of 4 words

• Sender email address should have a corporate domain name. Emails from @gmail, @yahoo, @aol, @outlook, @icloud, and other similar domains will not be accepted
