Email has evolved a lot in the last decade, becoming a highly regulated and controlled technology, with new protocols and mechanisms between the sender and the recipient created each year.

How words trigger the spam filters

  1. Downloaded and shared! Awesome list, guys.
    A good chunk of our emails still lands in spam, though.
    Could it be the attachments?

    1. Dian, attachments can have a negative impact on email deliverability, you are right. Read our guide to check if these are attachments that make your emails be delivered to the Spam folder.

  2. many thanks for such an amazing list! it is really great but the spam rate is still very high. do you have any guesses why it happens so and how I can reduce it?
    thanks in advance.

  3. I knew that words can activate spam filters, but I didn’t think that SO MANY of them do! well done, Paul! many thanks for the list!

  4. Wow, so many regular words and phrases that can trigger spam filters!

    So, what words can we use for calls to action, subject lines, or letting someone know they know about a new offer?
