Do your mail messages end up in the recipient’s spam folder or marked as spam by their email provider?
There could be various reasons for this e.g. you are a spammer or have a badly setup email provider.
But there is a web site you can send a message to and it will analyse the email routing etc. to see if there is anything that makes it look like spam.
The software engineers behind mail-tester say:
“We needed a cheap, simple and efficient way to quickly test the quality of our own newsletters.
We simply built on our own tool. Now we’re sharing it for free via our web-interface and enable you to include our tests in your own app and whitelist our service by creating an account”.
How does mail-tester work?
- Mail-tester generate a random email address each time you access their service.
- You send a message from your favourite Newsletter/email software to this email address.
- You click on the Check Your Score button and as soon as we receive your message, our snail graphic will stop to give you your spam score.
- Mail-tester will analyse your message, your mail server, your sending IP… and show you a detailed report of what’s configured properly and what’s not.
- Your result will be accessible for 7 days with our free version or 30 days if you created an account and used your own prefix.
- If you send a new message to the same testing address, your previous test will be immediately deleted to be replaced by the new one.
So, if your emails are disappearing into spam folders, then mail-tester may be able to help.
If you have any experiences with these scams do let me know, by email.
