How to prevent my e-mails from being blocked by spam blockers?

5 replies
Most of the e-mails I send to my list when I get them myself end up in my junk mail folder. I can only assume the same is true for most that receive it.

What's the best way to ensure my e-mails are not worded in a way that is likely to get blocked?

Thank you

    Here are a couple of things I have come across. Maybe they can help you a bit.

    Use an autoresponder company like Aweber or Icontact. Search out a list of stop words online and don't use those when you write your emails. Use only double optin.

    Use text only emails instead of HTML. Only use one link per email. Make sure your admin info is on every email you send.

    But the biggest is probably the market you are in. I don't know what it is, but if it is common CPA markets, you might need another market to work in.

    Beyond using a reliable autoresponder company, consider getting an account at smtp.com

    Use their servers for your outgoing email.

    Plans start at $5.00/month

    I use iContact too but some of my mails do get stuck in the junk folder. I may try to research the stop words though, that was a good suggestion.

      I've been using iContact and there are a lot of messages that are getting bounced. It seems to be related to the recipients mail server. For instance all addresses ending in @corcoran.com get bounced. I hate to think that my only option is to contact corcoran's IT director.

      But I will definitely try all text messages and key word lists.
