Spam prevention
It is possible that a very small percentage of emails may end up being marked as spam. This depends on many factors, such as the sending reputation of your from address, the email provider of the recipient (Hotmail and Outlook are notorious for poor spam handling), and the content of your email.
If you want to be proactive, there are some things you can do that may have a positive impact on your delivery rates:
- Run your email newsletter content through a spam checker, to identify language that can trigger spam filters.
- Encourage your members to add your address as a safe sender, or even better, encourage them to reply to your emails.
- Keep your free subscriber list tidy by periodically removing inactive subscribers
