Which is why I asked about services that offer what I was thinking about. It's the long tail of contributing factors to issues like what you describe. If any of the things I mentioned are wrong (SPF, DMARC, DKIM, etc.), you're going to have a WAAAYYY worse day than one-offs. Everything will be blocked. Yes, the one-off still won't go through, but there isn't much you can do about it. Focus on what you can control, not what you can't. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

But for non-marketing senders (and recipients), that "long tail" is often ALL the mail they sent. If all I want to send is ONE important mail to ONE recipient at Google/Microsoft/Yahoo, and that mail gets rejected/filed to spam folder, then 100% of my *important, personal, non-marketing* email was lost. By no means is it a "long tail" for me. It may be for Google/Microsoft/Yahoo, but for me and for the person I sent mail to, it definitely isn't. So we shouldn't simply disregard something as being a "long tail". -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
