Help with testing my marketing email

[accuname]

I need help verifying my email that I want to use for my marketing isn't hitting junk boxes. So I just need someone to agree to receive a test email from me to their email and let me know if it went to inbox or junk.

Just pretty much any email address. Company email addresses would be good too. If I can test like 50 addresses and none go to junk box I will be in good shape I think.

Just PM me.

It may be pretty difficult to get 50 people to hand over their email addresses. Plus, that would only help you for this one specific email, it won't tell you anything about your future sends.

I'd suggest Return Path's email tools: Email Delivery: Return Path Global ISP Relations for Email Service Providers

Of if you're just starting out and cost is an issue Delivery Monitor (who has a 30 day trial) is a more cost effective solutions: Delivery Monitor - Email Deliverability Tracking

Does marketing email differ form a personal one? What for does it aim?

hi,

If u maintain the 50 email address in the mail is diff process so u can find a new way to your checking a email,to connect a net marketing,That test suite will get the tough ones- Gmail is one of the strictest, and if you don’t care about Lotus Notes, there you go. It’s worth setting up a free AOL web account.

Thank u..

It’s worth setting up a free AOL web account.

If you use the tools designed specifically for testing your emails you don't have to have your own accounts. Otherwise, if you want to do thorough testing, you'd have to have a ton of webmail accounts and check them all manually, even multiple ones at the same provider with different filtering options setup. That's why the email tools are handy, they save you a ton of time and manual work.

AOL is covered with both of the tools I mentioned, so setting up your own accounts would be overkill.

Delivery Monitor requires that you email them to cancel. Have you or anyone else had any issues with this? They state in the TOS that cancellation only takes effect after the cancellation request is confirmed by them. Seems like they would make it difficult to cancel.

Hmmm, I've never actually used Delivery Monitor, I'm a Return Path man myself. I just knew they offered a trial so I figured I'd pass it along.

They could just have that TOS info to avoid someone emailing them at 1 minute to midnight on the last day of their trial, but I guess ya never know. If you really only want to test the one email you could always signup, do the test, and then cancel. If they can't get back to you with a cancellation confirmation in 30 days, that would be pretty damn ridiculous.

Are they doing something different than embedding an image? Because I've decided the tracking service using HTML embedded image is risky because many users have the html block on it can look suspicious because their email service alerts them when an image was blocked in an email. And if they click on it to show HTML and then no image appears....

I suppose you could put in a logo and so it will appear and cover the invisible tracking gif. lol I feel like a dirty spammer now.
