What triggers spam filters in emails?
 

Just wondering if any of you had any ideas as to what elements in an email would trigger a spam filter.

Besides the obvious keywords like "increase your manhood" etc...

I have an idea it might go beyond keywords and it might be actions like sending the same title line to several gmail accounts daily.

Does anyone have any advice on things NOT TO DO when emailing so that your important emails are not perceived as spam?

Thanks in advance,

If they are truly important have the people you are sending them to add you to their "accepted" list.

Sean I dont know of anything you could do to not trigger someones spam filters. Obviously not mentioning viagra or your new penis pills is a given :)

Welcome emails etc from a Gmail account so it is the first time they are receiving an email from this account.

I try not to mention Viagra :winkwink:

ok..

#1. Check your IPS. If your ips get too much complaints from an ISP they blacklist it.
#2. Check mail limits, some isps like google have an hourly limit and if u pass it they spambox u automatically
#3. Make sure your domain isnt RBLed. Theres many sites you can check RBL status.
#4. Get RDNS, SPF.

Honestly message doesnt matter. Ive run optin mail campaigns with full blown messages. I do get little point because of message, but then the IP is clean, domain is clean, i have SPF and RDNS = inbox.

Oh yeah dont send batches. Just send email 1 at a time. And since you are probably sending optin, include the persons name in the email if u have it, helps conversions alot.

Example, Mr J Smith, do you need a new car loan?

etc.
Goodluck

Excellent reply! Great info xxweekxx! Thanks!

If you know a sure fire way not to hit the spam bin let me know. I can email a totally vanilla text email without any links and it can still end up in spam. It is never the first time I am emailing either and gmail is probably the worst.

you are probally already blacklisted
