The spam filtering process detects and blocks unwanted emails based on three major factors.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo Mail, spam filters rigorously check the email content <\/b>in the email body, header, and subject line to identify spam trigger words.<\/p>\n For example, an email with the subject line \u201cGet FREE Social Media Subscribers!” could be marked as spam.<\/p>\n Refraining from spammy content will help improve your email deliverability<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you want to avoid being marked as a spammer during spam filtering, you should verify your mailing list before sending marketing emails to your subscribers.<\/p>\n Why? As a result, most emails you send will be marked as spam.<\/p>\n Any legitimate email address and sender domain should be verified and authenticated with SPF<\/b>, DKIM<\/b>, and DMARC<\/b> records.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a breakdown of what these are:<\/p>\n These protocols help spam filters recognize emails as legitimate \u2014 keeping them out of the spam folder. However, if these protocols are absent, spam filters will have a hard time verifying the email, and it could end up flagged as spam.<\/p>\n You can also check your records by using this free email analyzer tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n Go back to contents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Finding spam folders in a mailbox provider like Gmail or Outlook isn\u2019t tricky.<\/p>\n Just follow the steps I covered here, and you should have no trouble locating them.<\/p>\n And if you want to ensure that your<\/b> emails don\u2019t end up as spam, have a quick look at GMass.<\/p>\n It’s just about the fastest and easiest email sending tool you’ll ever find<\/strong> \u2014 it works right inside Gmail<\/strong>, so there’s nothing new to learn \u2014 and we’re obsessively focused on making sure your messages wind up in the inbox<\/strong>, not the spam folder.<\/p>\n Whether you’re sending out a cold email or email marketing campaign to a ton of people… or using mail merge to send birthday invites or a church bulletin to a dozen.<\/p>\n You can read up on what makes GMass better and different<\/a> than any other email platform… or jump right in by downloading the Chrome extension<\/a>.
