Sender Reputation

How to Fix: Email Blocked for Potential Spam/Malicious Activity

1. Check IP and Domain Blacklists

  • Use tools like: Blacklist Check

  • If listed, follow the delisting procedure provided by the blacklist service.

2. Ensure Proper DNS Configuration

  • SPF Record:

  • DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

  • DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance

Test DNS Records:

  • MXToolbox for SPF/DKIM/DMARC record validation.

3. Monitor and Improve Email Reputation

  • Microsoft SNDS: View the reputation of your IPs with Microsoft (Outlook, Hotmail).

    • Check at SNDS

  • Google Postmaster Tools: Monitor how Gmail treats your emails.

    • Check at Postmaster Tools

4. Send Smaller Email Batches to Build Reputation

  • Avoid sending a large volume of emails from a new or cold IP/domain. Start with a low volume and gradually increase to build trust.

5. Clean and Segment Email Lists

  • Remove inactive or invalid addresses to reduce bounces.

  • Use Email Validation tools to clean your lists before sending campaigns.

  • Monitor complaints or spam reports to remove problematic recipients.

7. Check Email Content and Follow Best Practices

  • Avoid spammy subject lines (e.g., "Congratulations!!!" or "Act Now!").

  • Use a healthy image-to-text ratio (don't send only images).

  • Ensure your links are safe and not blacklisted.

  • Include an unsubscribe link in marketing emails to comply with anti-spam regulations.
