That spam filtering is fickle and deliverability troubleshooting is about statistics and machine learning. It’s near impossible to troubleshoot delivery failures at this volume. It may or may not be a reputation issue. It might be a link you’re using, it might be the domain is too new, it might be any of a dozen different things. > It's frustrating because none of the too big to fail email service providers > have any way to test a sending IP or sending domain's reputation with their > service.

What there isn’t is some imprimatur that ensures that every email is delivered to the inbox every time unless the sender considers it spam and agrees with the decision. That’s just not how it works. > It would be nice if I could check the reputation of my outbound IPs daily and > be proactive in remedying any issues with these major email service > providers, rather than have to be told by my clients that something is amiss. > And then battle through a 2 week waiting period for the provider to reply > back or hope that someone from the provider is on MailOps and can provide any > insight. You’re blaming the IP but Google filtering isn’t that determinative. laura -- The Delivery Expert Laura Atkins Word to the Wise la...@wordtothewise.com Delivery hints and commentary: http://wordtothewise.com/blog
