What Everyone “Knows”
![Page 8: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IP ReputaKon
• Usually means the IP connecKng to the receiving mail server
• Hard for senders to forge
• First real blocking of spam by servers done by IP
• Not parKcularly precise
![Page 9: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Complaints
• Acceptable complaint levels < 0.3%
• Levels above 0.3% correlate with delivery problems
• Lower levels always be^er
![Page 10: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Spamtraps
• Spamtraps are email addresses used to catch senders and block their mail
• One spamtrap can cause your mail to be blocked
![Page 11: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bounces
• Rates < 5% are acceptable
• Rates > 10% usually lead to deliverability problems
• Only “unknown users” are counted, not any spam or other types of bounces
![Page 12: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What Everyone “Knows” is Wrong
![Page 13: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Deliverability Facts
![Page 14: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
IP Rep: Not the Sole Factor
• Domain ReputaKon
• Link ReputaKon
• Content ReputaKon
![Page 15: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Domain ReputaKon
• Usually talking about “From” or authenKcated domains
• Any domain present in an email can trigger filtering
• Used to be^er separate out mail from shared IPs
![Page 16: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
URL / Link ReputaKon
• For IPs that have “grey area” reputaKons, URL reputaKon allows for more precise blocking
• Used to block malicious mail
• MenKoning a URL with a bad reputaKon can get mail blocked or filtered
• Some filters look at the website IP or landing page
![Page 17: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Content ReputaKon
• Spammers started “snowshoeing” to get around IP reputaKon filters
• ISPs started tracking content coming from mulKple IP addresses
• Condense content down to a “fingerprint” • Block based on the fingerprint
![Page 18: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is Measured
• ISPs measure many things about every email
• Measurements applied to IP, URLs, domains and content
• Gmail states they evaluate more than 100 different variables
![Page 19: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Complaints
• Measure number of “this is spam” hits by recipients
• Only mail in the inbox can be complained about
• Measure how “wanted” an email is
![Page 21: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Recipient Profile
• Look for unusual acKvity among recipients
• Heavily spammed addresses can be used to idenKfy spam
![Page 23: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

ReputaKon in the future
![Page 30: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Deliverability Changes
• ISPs focusing on more individualized delivery
• ISPs looking more at “organizaKonal reputaKon” rather than just email or IP reputaKon
• Seed accounts becoming less accurate measures of delivery
![Page 31: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Individualized Delivery
• Change from a numbers game to a targeKng game
• Engaged recipients will receive mail in their inbox
![Page 32: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
OrganizaKonal ReputaKon
• ALL mail streams ma^er
• Fewer opportuniKes for 3rd party mailers
• Less opportunity to moneKze address lists
![Page 33: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Seed Lists
• Seed lists have “unusual” recipient profiles • Major mailbox providers have stated that senders should not rely on seed lists to tell them about delivery
![Page 34: Think You Know Everything About Deliverability?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5876d93b1a28ab1d238b665b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
