USE CASE:

Your email is going to spam and you need to know why

If you need a way of your email is going to spam and you need to know why, this is the honest list of how deliverability gets done. The tools named are Mamba Labs Apify actors, run by you and priced per row, Domain Deliverability Checker included for deliverability.

The situation

Open rates fell off a cliff and nothing about your copy changed. Nine times out of ten the cause is authentication or reputation, not the message. The uncomfortable part is that the mailbox provider will never tell you, so you are debugging a system that gives no error message.

Traditional Search Tools

  • MXToolbox. The tool most people already use, and it is genuinely good for one domain at a time. It is a web form, so checking 40 sending domains means 40 visits.
  • Google Postmaster Tools. The only place you see what Gmail thinks of your reputation, and it is free. It covers Gmail, it needs domain verification, and it says nothing about the other half of your list.
  • Your sequencer's own health check. Instantly and Smartlead both ship one. They check the domains you send from, which is the point, and they will not check a domain you have not connected yet.
  • Read the DNS yourself. dig the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for the sending domain, then check it against the public blocklists one at a time. Fifteen minutes per domain if you know what you are looking at.
