  • Hubspot emails going to spam – fixing the issue

    Hubspot emails going to spam – fixing the issue

    Hubspot users frequently encounter the issue of their email newsletters being classified as spam, despite having appropriate content in the emails. Even though the email content, headers, and text are all in compliance, you can still see the emails flagged as spam. Let’s investigate the possible reasons behind this occurrence.

     

    Why email from Hubspot going to spam

    • Exclamation points or certain phrases in the “subject” line
      Avoid using exclamation points or specific phrases in the subject line that may trigger spam filters, such as “Make money,” “Free,” or “Not spam.” It is advisable to steer clear of these types of triggering phrases to prevent your emails from being classified as spam.

    • The Unsubscribe Button is missing
      It’s important to keep in mind that if an email is not pertinent to the recipient and lacks an Unsubscribe option, the only recourse for the recipient to cease receiving the email is to flag it as spam.

    • Irrelevant offer
      If multiple individuals label your email as spam, it could result in your future emails being automatically directed to recipients’ spam folders.

    • Blacklisted or unreal email in your email list
      We believe you can handle the changes above yourself, but this one requires some help to check email addresses. Since so many bots use subscription forms and use either fake addresses or stolen ones. If you have blacklisted and unreal emails in your email list, spam filters can recognize it and put your emails at risk of going into the spam folder.

      Mailing to such addresses will not be useful, so we made a web service that clears your email list by checking it through a database of 6M email addresses for fake addresses and spam. Use the instructions below to clean your mailing list of “bad” addresses.
