Say you have already imported an email address into FeedBlitz, phil@feedblitz.com, along with two custom fields, FirstName and LastName, which contain Phil and Hollows respectively. Now say you have a new import file, again containing these three fields and again containing a row for phil@feedblitz.com, except that this time the FirstName field is Philip instead…

One of FeedBlitz’s (rarely used) features is to allow subscribers to be completely anonymous. If FeedBlitz allowed a publisher to override the subscriber’s privacy decision that would be a bad thing and we respect our users’ right to privacy.  In addition, it makes no sense to “block” anonymous subscriptions.  You can read more information on FeedBlitz’ privacy…
