The email spam score: part 3, server side

Now, we know how to calculate an email spam score: installing our MailingCheck software for spam rating it’s free and easy. This spam score will let us know if our email will be stopped by the spam filters of the ISP (Internet Service Provider). Today we will learn the difference between minor email spam points score and major email spam points score.
Let’s consider Spam rate just a sum of points based on SpamAssassin’s rules set: each spam rule has a different value. Major spam points are usually added when the message has beed listed in some spam filter network, minor spam points are based on email composition rules.
Example: if your email has been listed in DCC (it’s a spam filter network) we add 3,6 Spam score Points… this is very bad.
If your email is in HTML format and contains the Tbody tag it gets 0,1 Spam score Points.
We can operate on the minor spam check points additions, because we cannot deal with the server side spam reporting system. What we can do is:
- send a email only when it’s requested (double opt-in mailing list subscription it’s the better solution)
- Know and apply the spam rules to our email, writing and sending clean emails that follows the spam rules.
If our email has been marked as spam for mistake you’ll have to start a complex procedure, different for each spam reporting network. You can find these procedures linked in MailingCheck broken rule’s reason. Be sure to have a low spam score rate for your email, the inbx rate will constantly increase.
The email spam score: part 2

Today we analyze some HTML email spam score in detail. I use the SendBlaster software template engine for automating the creation of my email, plus Adobe Dreamweaver to create and modify my newsletter HTML email details.
I choose a template and I save a .eml file. Lets analyze it without changes:
it gets a BAD spam score (5,1 points).
This happens because every email needs a lot of attention before it can be sent to your customers.
Now lets analyze the common errors:
1,3 spam check points: Subject Missing
I must write something in the subject field, the title of my newsletter for example.
1 spam check point: Low body to pixel area ratio
Text is always more important than images, so I must write someting before I can put an image.
0,8 spam check points: images with 2800-3200 bytes of words
Remember what learned before: Text must have priority, so if I want to include images I must write something more, just a description it’s ok.
0,5 spam check points: spam check points: HTML only message:
We must include a text only version of the email, we just click on Sendblaster text from HTML button. 
This is done for the clients that don’t want to use HTML rendering.
0,3 spam check points: HTML tag for a big font size
I have a 40pixel style in my template… this seem interesting for my readers, but 40px is too much! I put 20pixel, it’s
enough for every title.
… now that I have a low email spam score, my email is rated GOOD (1,2 total points) by the SpamAssassin engine.
and remember, the most important part is up to you: write an interesting content for your readers.

The email spam score: part 1
July 25th, 2007

As we said yesterday, the spam score is a value that explains what the spam robots think about your email. Knowing our spam score before sending can be very useful. Spam rules are focused in avoiding some little tricks that spammers do to be sure that you click or watch their email. They also analyze the origin of the email, if the email come from a known spam source or not.
Each broken spam rule means different spam scores. One broken spam rule may not be enough to get caught by a spam filter, but… having more than two spam rules broken may be dangerous.
If you change some parameters e-mails may be delivered or not with *SPAM* tag.
Some BAD examples:
0,6 spam points: added if you don’t include a real name in the Form field
1,2 spam points: added if the Body contains a URL in the .biz top-level domain
1,2 spam points: added if the sender’s network has been a spam source before
Some GOOD examples:
- 0,6 spam points: removed if the Form Address is present in the auto white-list
How to Build a newsletter: never restart from scratch

As Joel says, modifying the existing (mailing list) is fast and economical, but keep in mind that the published content must be a new creature. You should know what was the most appealing item, or the most clicked object. Then you can remove old items, and replace them with new ones, based on what you’ve learned.
Read the newsletter again from beginnig to end, this will let you discover the common mistakes.
Now read it again, just the first line of each paragraph, you must be interesting, every line you write.
If you don’t really have something new to say, maybe it’s better to find it out before sending your mailing list.
Passing through the server spam filters it’s just the first step, the second it’s all about your content. Remember that spam is just something never requested, give to your customers only the informations they ask for.
