Do You Look Like A Spammer?
The vast majority of e-mails circulating the Internet these days are junk messages and the technology that tries to filter through it all isn’t perfect.
The specific words you use and what you include in your messages can actually make your legitmate emails look like a junk message to automated spam filters.
Simple things, like unnecessary images or certain words can boost your spam score and the parameters keep changing.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to test your messages to see if something you’re doing is making you look like a spammer?
