How to Fix for Yourself

Improve Email Deliverability

How to ensure that your emails are delivered to the receiver

Email reputation refers to the perceived trustworthiness of an email sender by email services based on their sending behavior, content quality, and recipient engagement, among several other factors. Every email service – including the one you use and the one your recipient uses – performs these checks to ensure that the message is not harmful and can be safely delivered.

 

When the reputation parameters are not met by your messages, you may encounter delays or delivery issues, such as emails ending up in the spam folder of the receiver. To fix it, you can apply measures that will improve your domain’s email reputation by following these steps ?

 

Step 1 – Add Email DNS Records

Aside from the MX records, which are an absolute must for emails to work, there are two additional types of records that are essential for email deliverability – SPF and DKIM records:

SPF (stands for Sender Policy Framework) record allows domain owners to specify which email servers are authorized to send emails on their behalf

DKIM (stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail) record is used for signing and verifying the authenticity of emails: it involves adding a digital signature to outgoing emails that the recipient's email server can verify

Both these records are of TXT type and should be added to your domain's DNS zone.

 

Step 2 – Improve the Email Subject

One of the most important things that affect email deliverability is the subject line of your messages. Make sure to compose subjects that are relevant to your audience and related to the message content.

 

In addition, you should avoid the following:

Misspelled words

Using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS

The words "Test", "Check", or similar

Phrases like "Open this", "Read me", "Urgent", or similar

Random letters or numbers, as well as using any special characters (like %^>)

More recommendations:

Aim for shorter subject lines, though use more than one word; e.g., avoid writing only "Hello"

Don't leave the subject blank

Remove the "Re:" from message replies

This way, your subject line will be more positively accepted by both the mail services and your recipients ?

 

Step 3 – Review Your Contact List

When it comes to engaging email recipients, make sure to send messages only to users who have opted in to receive your emails. Sending emails without recipient permission can result in high rates of unsubscribes and spam reports.

 

In addition, regularly check your email list for nonexistent or invalid email addresses. Sending emails to these addresses can also impact your email reputation and lower deliverability rates.

 

In regards to the volume of messages sent, make sure to stay within your account's limits and avoid mass mailing. If you want to conduct an email campaign, consider a dedicated solution, as they specialize in handling high email volume while also providing greater tools, features, and analytics.

 

Step 4 – Test Your Messages

Once you have applied the previous steps, you can check your emails against several reputation algorithms with one single tool. All you will need to do is:

Go to Mail-Tester and obtain the recipient testing address

Send a message from your email account to the test address using the same subject and content that you would send to any of your usual recipients

Go back to the Mail Tester page and click on Check your score

Scroll down the score page and expand each section to find specific recommendations to improve deliverability

That’s it! After completing the above steps, your emails should properly reach your recipients ?

What to Do if the VPS IP Is Blacklisted

Learn what to do if you can't send emails because the IP address of your VPS is blacklisted

IP reputation refers to the perceived trustworthiness of an IP address when sending emails or other online communications. It's based on various factors, such as:

The volume of messages sent

The number of spam complaints received

The quality of the recipient engagement, etc.

Even though we monitor the IP addresses of all VPS with the help of the largest reputation providers, your IP may still get reported to any of the existing blacklists, which would prevent you from sending emails.

 

Our VPS service is designed for regular business email operations: the sending limit is five emails per minute. If you need to send more messages, for instance, if there's an email marketing strategy you want to follow, you should use a dedicated email service, such as Business Email by Permeateq.

 

If the IP of your VPS is blacklisted, first, ensure you implement the following email practices:

Avoid sending large volumes of messages, especially to recipients who haven't explicitly opted in to receive them

Keep your message subject and content targeted and informative

Make it easy to opt out of your communications

Remove inactive or non-existent recipients from your contacts

Use SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to verify your identity and improve the deliverability of your messages

Next, locate the service that has blacklisted your IP address, and submit a delisting request. The process varies according to the reputation provider.
