Rapid Email Sender
Frida Kosofsky
For Shared Hosting Linux and Managed ServerStarting on January 29, 2024, emails that you send through your IONOS webspace will require a sender address that belongs to a domain of your IONOS contract. Sending with alternative or empty email senders...
The reason is that if a visitor enters their corporate email address in your webform, and if that corporation has a half decent IT department, the email will never arrive. Corporations are steadfast rolling out anti spoofing and phishing mechanisms like DKIM and SPF to make sure only their mailservers can send out mails with their mail addresses.
It's been a long time now, that I'm experiencing this behaviour: I have my Mail application open, just staring at it doing nothing, and I see that the names of all senders flicker every now and then, it's as if they're trying to display the name in a different format (all caps? different last name?) -- then they just go back to normal. Really as if there's a different name format coming in after being synchronised... any idea why this may be?
My thinking is that maybe Mail starts checking when it is not ready with the earlier checking completely, this can happen when you have many email accounts, and/or a slow internet connection, and/or a slow email provider moment, and/or a lot of emails coming in in a sync.
Thank you. Actually it was set to "Automatically" but I set it to "Every 5 minutes" anyways; unfortunately I still see this happening. I believe it's actually switching very rapidly between the contact name and their email address.
Brevo is a cost-effective, intuitive solution for bulk email senders with paid plans starting from as little as $9 for 5,000 emails per month. Unlike other bulk email providers, our affordable pricing is based on the number of emails sent.
Each email service provider (ESP) offers a set of IPs they use to send emails. The majority of them are shared between thousands of accounts. However, purchasing dedicated IPs is also an option. The latter is much more costly, so most senders rely on a shared IP.
Each address has a reputation on the internet that tells mail servers if they should trust emails from that source. And the servers take it seriously. The majority of failed deliveries are the result of poor reputation.
The easiest way to check your sender reputation is to use dedicated online tools. Just keep in mind that each of them uses a different methodology and algorithm to determine your score. They also rely on different types and sources of data.
Another free tool for assessing your domain and IP reputation score in real time is Talos Intelligence from Cisco. For simplicity reasons, your reputation will be represented with one of three scores: Good, Neutral, or Poor.
To assess your reputation, you need to craft an email and send it to a unique analysis address. The site will then assess different aspects of it and give you a score for each. You can also integrate your ESP to track engagement and unsubscribes.
If your sender reputation leaves a lot to be desired, you can improve it by following the suggestions below. So, make sure you implement the necessary changes before you send out your next transactional email or marketing campaign.
As we mentioned earlier in the article, some of the things that can really derail your reputation are high spam complaint rates, high bounce rates, spam traps, unsubscribe rates, and low open rates. Nearly all of these can be avoided if your mailing list is grown in a healthy way.
Through Email Sending, the Mailtrap Email Delivery Platform offers both an email API and an SMTP service. And the devs using Email Sending, get an email infrastructure with high deliverability rates by design.
On top of all this, with Email Sending, you can access actionable analytics, which include a helicopter view dashboard, drill-down reports for mailbox providers and categories, email logs, and other features, allowing you to monitor deliverability and troubleshoot unexpected sending issues if they occur.
Customers like authenticity and relatable content and Google has partnered with Yahoo to ensure that companies deliver just that. Email marketing has been at the heart of businesses because of its cost-effectiveness paired with the ease of communication. With all these benefits, it also gives rise to issues such as spam emails, phishing, and unrelatable content, this is why strict guidelines are necessary.
In recent years, the volume of spam and junk emails being sent has increased exponentially. It is estimated that 3.4 billion of all emails sent globally are spam. This epidemic of unwanted messages has severely impacted email deliverability rates. Legitimate marketing emails and business correspondence often end up blocked or filtered out along with the spam.
To combat the growing problem of spam emails, Yahoo and Google have jointly introduced new guidelines for senders who send high volumes of email. These rules, which take effect in February 2024, are designed to improve email deliverability and security for all users.
The foundation of the new guidelines is the requirement for bulk email senders to authenticate their messages. Yahoo and Google will mandate the use of authentication protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for all messages sent by high-volume senders.
This validates that the emails are truly coming from the domain they claim to be from and have not been spoofed. Email providers can verify the source and mark verified emails as safe, allowing them to bypass spam filters and the unauthenticated emails are far more likely to be flagged as risky or suspicious.
Senders must then honour unsubscribe requests within two business days by removing the person from the mailing list. This allows recipients control over their inboxes and prevents the build-up of unwanted emails that lead to spam complaints. Smooth unsubscribing improves the user experience and reduces friction that damages deliverability.
To ensure recipients only receive emails they expect and want Yahoo and Google are imposing a maximum threshold for spam complaints. Senders must maintain a spam complaint rate below 0.1% based on feedback data from the companies' postmaster tools. A rate higher than 0.3% risks severe consequences like blocking or blacklisting.
This compels senders to carefully manage their lists, segmentation, content, and other factors to avoid triggering spam complaints. Listening to user feedback provides an opportunity to optimise campaigns.
Open rates drop as people evaluate emails before opening. An increase in spam triggers email providers like Yahoo and Google to implement stricter filters and make sure you do not reach your target audience.
The new requirements from Yahoo and Google will have a significant impact on marketers, companies, and other high-volume email senders. Senders who ignore the guidelines and make no effort to comply with the guidelines will be blocked, blacklisted, and end up in the spam folder. Their emails may not reach inboxes at all.
On the other hand, bulk senders who proactively implement the necessary changes will benefit greatly. They will see improved inbox placement, higher open rates, lower bounce, and spam complaint rates, and a good sender reputation score.
Or take the case of Disposable Email Addresses (DEAs). People use such email addresses only once or twice and then never again. Any emails you send to such addresses are never opened - and your money goes down the drain.
Sure you can! Just create your free account. It takes only a few seconds and you can begin right away. Verify emails for free using bulk email verifier and validate upto 100 emails every day. If you wish to verify bigger email lists, you may choose from our flexible paid plans.
The email checker proprietary software at QuickEmailVerification is comprehensive, swift and yet highly accurate. The email verification process puts every single email address through a series of steps, each step checking a different facet of the address.
Syntax verification uses multiple IETF standards to verify the syntax. The MX records of the email address are verified to understand the hygiene of the domain. The system uses proprietary methods for advanced mail server validation for the highest accuracy. The software connects to the mail server with SMTP, simulates an actual email and checks if there is a mailbox associated with the address.
Additional tests are carried out to see if the email address is catch-all, disposable or role based. A separate evaluation is carried out to see if the email address belongs to a free email service (e.g. Gmail or Yahoo).
Our email verifier, one of the best in the industry, has an accuracy rate of over 99%, so the chances of an email bouncing off a valid address are very low. Besides, factors like poor reputation of the sender domain/IP, misconfiguration of email sending server can also lead to emails bouncing off valid email addresses.
Ideally, you want to unsubscribe addresses classified as not-safe-to-send or invalid. That includes some categories like role address and disposable address. If you have a strictly B2B product or service to offer, you might want to consider suppressing free email addresses (like Gmail, Yahoo and so on), since they are most likely personal addresses. If there are any email addresses whose status is Unknown, the best you can do is send a re-engagement email asking the recipients if they wish to continue being on your mailing list. You may see a smaller mailing list after all this, but rest assured, this will ultimately be a more powerful, more productive list.
Bad idea. Once your emails begin bouncing, you will see a steady decline in your deliverability. Soon, you will see a bigger proportion of your outgoing emails never reaching the inbox of your target group. Your reach will reduce considerably. You could be labelled a spammer and even be blacklisted. Your email service provider (ESP) will almost certainly suspend your account if you reach the threshold of bounces. Getting out of all this trouble is always time-consuming and expensive. Verifying your email list lets you leverage all the benefits of email validation.
