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

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.

I’m trying to post in digg.com our interesting articles about newsletter building without spam. It’s useless to have a digg.com article with just one digg, much more diggs are needed to get some kind of relevance. In web 2.0 no matter how good is your software, you just need a Clicker Squad. I don’t want to hire a Clicker Squad.
In today’s comments Aaron got the error:
Run-time Error ‘339′:
Component ‘BtnPlus1.ocx’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file missiong or invalid.
This just means that your system needs some libraries installed. The libraries are automatically installed within the SendBlaster free version.

If you are sending out a newsletter, you probably know that even if it is perfectly legitimate, spam filters may block it by mistake. The false positives issue is a huge problem for legitimate senders: anti-spam filters have no way of knowing whether a message is spam or not; they can only check whether it looks like spam. They give each incoming message a spam score, and if the score is high enough the message is redirected to the recipient’s junk folder or even not delivered at all. Only messages with a low spam score make it to the recipient’s mailbox.
We did a little software that incorporates SpamAssassin engine, which is the most popular antispam filter used by ISPs around the world, and analyzes your e-mail message in order to calculate its spam score based on its content: the higher the spam score is, the higher is the chance that, once the email has been sent, it will be filtered out as spam. This will allow you to correct any major problem before you actually send out your mailing.
You can download here MailingCheck, our free desktop software for email spam check.
MailingCheck can be used by legitimate senders only,
in order to track down any problem with their legitimate (opt-in) messages’ delivery and comply with SpamAssassin guidelines for senders; any abuse - including using the tool for any task related to sending unsolicited messages - is prohibited.
