Identifying and Managing Domain-Specific Deliverability
BY NAVIGATING THE RULES OF EACH WEB DOMAIN, MARKETERS CAN ENSURE THAT THEIR EMAIL SUCCESSFULLY REACHES THE INBOXES OF THEIR SUBSCRIBERS
Unfortunately, the English language does not have a plural use of the term 'deliverability'. It would be helpful if we did, since the topic of managing deliverability is not a singular-use term, but rather one that applies to hundreds of specific domains that each receive email via different filtering methodologies. This white paper describes and advises emailers with some of the specific filtering attributes implemented by the largest email receivers in the world and how to help ensure delivery to those receivers.
In recent years, we have witnessed a renaissance of communications and developments between legitimate email senders and email receivers, of which CheetahMail has been a leading participant. One of the most recognisable outcomes of these discussions is the availability of the junk mail/abuse feedback loop (FBL), which is a direct data feed from the receiver to the sender of recipients who have pressed the 'junk' or 'spam' button. While each receiver's implementation of the FBL is slightly different (and there is a pending Internet standard to homogenise these approaches), the bottom line is that senders who receive this data are now in a position to fine-tune their email delivery campaigns to ensure that messaging does not exceed acceptable abuse thresholds with these receivers.
