Guidelines for email newsletter service

冷暖自知 提交于 2019-11-30 05:26:46
I'm implementing a email newsletter sender service using .NET and Windows Server technologies. Are there comprehensive guidelines which could help avoiding emails being trapped by spam filters and other mechanisms? They should cover all aspects of (legal) bulk mail sending: SMTP configuration, DNS, HTML content, images, links within content etc. A simple example: is it better to embed images or load them from a server? It would be great if you could provide some empirical data to show the efficiency of some measures taken. Although I don't have a definitive answer, I think this is a very

问题 Although there are still bots harvesting emails, I'm wondering if you hide email addresses on websites. I know this was common practice a few years back, but it seems that it's starting to fade. Reasons not to: most email servers include quality spam protection, including services such as Gmail and hardly any gets through it's annoying to code as you have to remember and searching to change the email later can be tricky no method will prevent any harvesting Reasons to: avoid getting on lists

We are working on a project that requires us to allow users to register to receive email notifications of certain events. There will potentially be tens or hundreds of thousands of email messages based on any one event. I know that this is done every day all over the web, but what I don't know is how email campaigns are managed such that the sender is not blacklisted as a spammer when a single mail provider recognizes large numbers of messages from a single source -- I'm especially concerned with high profile mail providers like Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc. who will likely receive the bulk of the

I found How do you make sure email you send programmatically is not automatically marked as spam ? to (hopefully) be a solid guide to avoiding being marked as spam. Are there any other important tips/suggestions? How do I track bounces,opens,clicks? These are features found in paid services like Mail Chimp and Campaign Monitor . Do the same as Mail Chimp and Campaign Monitor then. LIE about your stats. There is no accurate way to track emails. If there was it'd just get blocked again. Most people don't want you to know these things and most email software ensures you don't. The stats provided

Setting up DomainKeys/DKIM in a PHP-based SMTP client [closed]

It looks like there are some great libraries out there to do DomainKeys signing of emails on C#/.NET, but I'm having a really hard time finding the same kind of support for PHP. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? The only one I found is http://php-dkim.sourceforge.net/ ; it looks incredibly hacky and supports PHP4 only. Considering how popular PHP is, and how critical DomainKeys are for email classification as non-spam, I'd expect better tools; do you know of any? Any other tricks you'd recommend? Extra info: I'm using an external SMTP provider because I need to send out thousands of
