How to use our free spam check software
- Compose your message using your favourite e-mail client; do not forget to include the Subject, the HTML and text part, etc. Please note that it is very important that MailingCheck scans a complete email message (not just a draft!), so that you are testing exactly what will be mailed to your list. Ideally, the spam check rate level detected from MailingCheck should be the last thing before sending your email out.
- Once you’re finished, save the email message as an .eml file (which is a public format supported by many email clients, including Microsoft Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird)
- Launch MailingCheck, select Check tab and select the email.eml file you just saved
- Click on Check now! button to start the analyzing test of your email.
The integrated SpamAssassin engine performs a large set of tests, named Rules, on your email message, and after a few seconds the mailing check software analyzes your email and returns a spam score rate, along with a list of spam rules which failed, sorted by relevance (each failed spam rule has its own spam score, so that you can easily see how much each problem is contributing to the global spam score rate). Please note that, while hundreds of tests are performed, only failed ones are shown (some of them may return a 0.0 score even if they failed, according to SpamAssassin engine’s current test settings).
Now that your Email has been tested and has it’s own spam score (or rate) read the reason column to know how to remove the spam rate source from your email. After you edited the email you can run the test and check it again, util it scores “Excellent”. This is the best way to go to inbox… but now begins the difficult part: you should write something that’s really interesting and useful for your readers.
Why we make an absolutely free mailing spam check software?
We’re constantly developing our bulk email sender software (SendBlaster) . One day we thought that could be useful for our customers to have a separate utility to check and test their email for spam rates before they actually send the emails (client side) and before they got caught by mistake into the spam filters. The next step was integrating the spam rule checker into our mass mailer software. Since SpamAssassin is a great open source software, and we support open source, we released the free version of mailing check. If you missed it, it can be dowloaded from here.
