I recently created an account with Mailgun and sent my first test email to my own address, but it unfortunately landed in the spam folder. This has made me question the factors that contribute to spam filtering in such systems. What steps should I take to ensure my emails are delivered correctly? Should I consider a warm-up service for my email account, or are there specific Mailgun settings I should adjust?
hey, i found that keeping my email content real and engaging helped loads. slowly ramping up my sender volume and checking my settings made a diff. sometimes a warmup strategy is what you need to build up trust with isp’s, so give it a shot.
In my experience, ensuring that your emails are not marked as spam starts with proper domain authentication. I ran into similar issues when I initially set up Mailgun, and after verifying my domain and setting up SPF and DKIM records, my deliverability notably improved. After this step, I found it beneficial to monitor recipient engagement and gradually increase sending volume to build trust with ISPs. Additionally, ensuring that email content is clean and avoids spam trigger words goes a long way in maintaining a reliable sender reputation.
