Step one. The letter with the details
Nothing extra, nothing distracts the user from the main goal – to use the service to solve their problems, only the functionality and minimalism. A letter is sent immediately after registration.
Step two. The email anti-spam report
Letter is sent on the 5th day of using the service at 10 am at the user’s time. Until 10 am, many users have time to see all the mail; there are no unread messages already, and the probability that our letter will be lost in the mass decreases.
Title immediately attracts attention, the numbers of spam attacks and mention of the website arouse great interest the user to open the letter and read the contents. The content of the letter is the statistics of the work of the service, and users become familiar with ability to control the service, there is an understanding that the blocked messages will not be lost even in case of errors.
Each number is a link, clicking on which the user gets to the page of detail of the queries, where you can view the IP/email and the contents of the message and the reason for blocking.
