When you send through Mailchimp, your email is delivered through our servers, so if one person sends spam, it could affect deliverability for our other users. That’s why we work vigilantly to keep our sending reputation intact, and it’s important that all users abide by our Terms of Use.
The reason your campaigns might be going to spam is because your emails appear to be coming from Mail. Chimp’s mail servers rather than your own. To ensure that your recipients’ servers get the message that you are a real person, you’ll have to authenticate your domain .
If your email has the Mail. Chimp headers, even if you yourself didn’t use the program to send SPAM, someone else has probably used it to send SPAM, and the Bayesian filters “learned” that those headers make it probably SPAM, and they get marked SPAM .
Why are my emails being flagged as spam?
There are a handful of reasons why your email campaign may be getting flagged as spam by your subscribers inbox. Run a test on your emails and you’ll see how things such as broken links, image alt attributes, text-to-image ratio and missing list-unsubscriber headers can affect the delivery success of your email campaigns.
If a number of users click the Report Spam button, your emails might be going to spam even if you follow all the said recommendations. In Mailchimp, there is no way of knowing if a campaign has been flagged as spam, however reports can shed lots of insight that can help you with your campaign’s performance.
Aggressive spam filters may label a legitimate campaign as spam or junk, even when you follow email marketing best practices. If this happens to you, ask your subscribers to import a list of Mailchimp’s sending domains to their Safe Senders list in Outlook.
If a subscribed contact marks your campaign as spam, Outlook’s filters will likely send your next campaign to their junk folder. The best way to avoid this is to maintain a clean audience of engaged subscribers who look forward to receiving your email campaigns in their inboxes.
What is Mailchimp and is it safe?
, mail Chimp is a tool which is predominantly used to send SPAM. I understand that it’s marketed as a legitimate tool to send mass emails, to do advertising, to people who already want to see the email you are sending. Most people don’t use it that way; most people use it to send SPAM.
What happens when I verify my domain with MailChimp?
When you “verify” your domain with Mailchimp, all you’re doing is giving them permission to spoof your domain. This means that subscribers on the receiving end of your email will see your name and email as the sender, but there will be a via beside it (e. g. via gmail. mcsv. net or mailchimpapp. net).
