question Contacting Endusers Without Flagging as Spam

[Lakshan]

Hi, I always try to contact endusers by my whois email and sometimes mails get rejected by recipient saying "bla bla bla spam bla bla bla"

I was wondering how to avoid that.

I have tested some cheap hosts and they send mails to inbox without any issue. But I don't want to use them as I don't trust them.

I was wondering is it possible for me it have 2 emails on single domain, it 2 servers.

Whois email on one servers (eg: Namecheap or Private Server) - eg [email protected]
Sales email on other (eg: Godaddy) - [email protected]

is it possible?

Also changing the IP address on an domain/hosting will lift the spam flag?


Please raise a question if you didn't get what I'm saying.

Thanks

It's a good practice not to use generic prefixes like admin, info, ceo, sales, etc etc. It has to do with the fact that such emails in companies are usually depersonalized, like many people may have access to admin@ account, read its emails and write from it. It's known that some mailing services don't like such emails, but also it's believed that some spam filters don't like them as well.

sendgrid, mandrill and all sites are allowing only email subscribers, if you do outbound they are blocking a.c.s what u think is the solution

I send them through gmail using my own domain setup which is at alpnames and you get free email account with that. It's integrated in gmail and I use that, send quite a few emails but haven't faced such an issue maybe because 90% of emails are unique as I include the name of person just like Hi John,

Plus the email ticks all points of NO-SPAM act thing.

I send a lot, don't count but there's only been 1 day when I overdid the limit. Yes, it gives you a choice to setup free email. I am not sure about the procedure of mx records and all thus I left it as it is and just forwarded it to my efty market and it works good for me.

The reality is that, given the content of the email you send trying to sell a domain and the fact that at some point some recipients may report your message as SPAM, there is no way to prevent 100% of the times to be classified as SPAM. Having said that, there are a few precautions that may be considered:

• Never send bulk email, just individual one by one messages.
• Include and unsubscribe message, even if it not an unsubscribe button, but at least a phrase allowing the recipient to let you know he or she does not want to receive your message in the future and comply with their request.
• Avoid language used by salesman pushing your domain, such as premium, best, wonderful, discount, buy, cheap, guarantee, customers, price, etc.
• Include your full contact information in your signature, including full name or full name of your company, full physical address and a phone number.
• Don't say too much, just a few phrases or sentences stating the domain is available for sale.

Again, this is not legal or financial advice, but just a description of some of the best practices we follow.

Try testing your emails using www.mail-tester.com

Is this site still valid in 2017? And are there other tools that you can test with?
