How to bypass spam filters legally

Eileen

HI  @rich-brooks   

I’ve not had any reason to try this myself as we don’t send out email to multiple addresses for any reason.

I agree though – spam is spam if all you want to do is break through the filters to a list of unknowns. 

Eileen ;D 

@katrinaturnbow-engram Corporate spam filters are steel and unforgiving. Even when the email address has been whitelisted, corporate filters may still kick a mass email out. If you want to send an HTML newsletter you don’t really have many options. Your best bet would be to send a text newsletter. A bit old school for sure, but more likely to get through filters.

At one major company where I worked on site, those filters were so bad, the documentation department had a heck of a time meeting deadlines because even the SMEs, outside writing subcontractors, and publication vendors we wanted to communicate with couldn’t always get through. I never could get to the bottom of who the gatekeepers were, even though I actually worked there.

And Katrina, I would definitely try to find a different way of looking at getting bounced, as it’s not something you want to experience even the first time. Too many times and your autoresponder service could bounce YOU instead, lol. Not fun. I think maybe that’s one reason why so many big list builders spread their lists around… just in case something happens… something very bad… at least their whole list won’t get penalized.
