Getting Your Autoresponder Messages Through The Spam Filters

In light of the spam problem, most email clients now

have spam filters installed. These filters catch spam

email and either move it to a ‘spam folder’ or

automatically delete it. After spending a great deal

of time laboring over your series of autoresponder

messages, it would be a shame to find out that the

majority of the messages that are sent out end up

in the spam folder, or are automatically deleted as

spam!

You can avoid this in two ways. First, when anyone

signs up to receive information from your

autoresponder, have them automatically redirected

to a page that gives them instructions for ‘white

listing’ you. Email clients have an actual white list

where the owner of the email client can add specific

addresses that should never be considered spam.

The other way to make sure that your autoresponder

messages get through the spam filters is to check

them using one of the various spam checkers that

are available online. These programs are often web

based, and free to use. They check your message

for words or phrases that commonly trigger spam

filters in email clients. Don’t send out any

autoresponder messages without doing a spam

check first!
