Why are my emails going to spam?

Start with the fundamentals: SPF, DKIM, DMARC and alignment. Then move to reputation and content hygiene.

  • This page is for diagnosis, not guesswork: authenticate first, then look at sender reputation and list quality.
  • The report is useful when several factors interact and you need an ordered action plan.

Use this page as a diagnosis guide. The live scan remains on the homepage so the learning pages can stay lighter and easier to read.

What buyers understand faster with a report

“Going to spam” is not a single bug. It is usually a stack of weak signals: authentication gaps, alignment issues, list quality, engagement or sender reputation.

  • The scan surfaces technical signals you can verify quickly.
  • The PDF gives a concise explanation of what looks urgent versus what is secondary.
  • That makes it easier to decide whether to fix DNS, sender setup or campaign hygiene first.

Top causes of spam placement

Missing SPF, DKIM or DMARC

Without authentication, mailbox providers trust your messages less.

Alignment failures

DMARC requires SPF or DKIM to align with your visible From domain.

Poor list hygiene

Inactive or unverified contacts increase bounce and complaint risk.

Weak sender reputation

Domain and IP history strongly influence inbox placement.

What this page can and cannot diagnose

What it can help with fast

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT issues that are visible through DNS and mail policy signals.

What still needs broader analysis

Engagement, campaign content, complaint rate, bounce handling and sender reputation trends across providers.

FAQ

Can authentication alone fix spam placement?
It is necessary but not sufficient. Reputation and content still matter.
Does this tool run a server penetration test?
