How do i avoid my emails getting caught by Spam filters?

So, Does anyone is using some sort of a method such as domain keys verification to insure that all emails are getting into inbox folders?

if so, which mail servers of which company are you using?
because we are using a good hosting company and they don't support such options of DKIM.

If you are using other method then DKIM please explain which one.

Many thanks,
Robert

 

It's gonna depend a lot on who your email service is through. Some have better deliverability than others.

The other thing you can do is check your message's spam score, using a tool such as

or

There are several out there some better than others so dig around if you wish.

 

This is a solution for the short period... i guess email servers that support DKIM is the answer? if anyone knows such emails servers please tell me.

I recently posted the main issues with getting your emails to your target inboxes on my blog. It includes the top 5 whitelists, best practices, and a few other useful pieces of information: http://www.christianlittle.com/2007/10/31/how-to-do-email-marketing-part-2-deliverability-issues/

 

I would highly recommend you to use an autoresponder service. Aweber and getresponse get almost 100% of your messages through. Many marketers tried your way earlier, and switch to them later, regretting, that they've not done it from the beginning.

 

Good advices, will try to use Free whit lists for now.
as the other methods for Paid whit lists they are too expensive, you can pay much less for an email server supports DKIM.
Our Gmail emails are getting into inbox and this is actually done free with a simmiler thing to DKIM.
however our server doesn't support DKIM, so yahoo and hotmail are still getting end up in bulk.

it's too expensive. and also doesn't cover email authorization emails, when a user sign ups our emails (authorization duble opt in ) are getting into spam with a delay of 12 hours.

 

How much of your mails are coming through?
Bad if yahoo and hotmail doesn't come through.

When you think it's too expensive, then maybe you're not earning enough, or you don't think about what cost the leads and sales you're missing out because of undelivered mails.

Also they have great testing, tracking and stats features.

I don't understand what you mean. Aweber has only doule opt in.

 

Well we have installed SPF Record and all Gmail and Hotmail emails are getting to inbox and that's is great.
AOL is getting into Spam right away, MSN we don't know and Yahoo get in Spam in 12 hours delay. Yahoo is using domain keys verfication which our host doesn't support. For it would be great to improve things in other fields and when time comes right we will make sure 99% of emails will get into inbox as we have cash to spend on a lot of things and some things are important more.
