Hey there

To keep your IP off spam lists, here are some friendly tips:

• Authenticate Your Emails: Use SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to prove you're the real deal.
• Send Good Content: Avoid spammy words and always make it easy for people to unsubscribe if they want to.
• Warm Up Your New IP: Send emails gradually if you're using a new IP to build a good rep.
• Keep Your List Clean: Remove bad or inactive email addresses, and send relevant content to the right people.
• Use Feedback Loops: Join programs that tell you if people mark your emails as spam, so you can fix issues.
• Don't Overwhelm: Send emails at a reasonable pace, not all at once.
• Monitor Your Reputation: Check services like SenderScore to see how you're doing.
• Secure Your Server: Keep everything updated and secure to prevent misuse.
• Stay Compliant: Follow email laws like CAN-SPAM if you're in the US.
• Check Blacklists: Regularly look to see if you're on a blacklist; if so, address the problem and ask to be removed.
