Best Email Deliverability 2026 - Frequently Asked Questions
What causes email to land in spam instead of inbox?â–¾
Common causes: failing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC authentication; sending to invalid or disengaged lists; high complaint rates; content with spam trigger phrases; links to blacklisted domains; sending from a new IP or domain without warmup; and inconsistent sending volume patterns. Deliverability is the result of reputation built over time through good sending practices.
What are SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?â–¾
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) specifies which mail servers are authorized to send from your domain. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a cryptographic signature to each email, proving it was not altered in transit. DMARC tells receiving servers what to do when SPF or DKIM fails (reject, quarantine, or report). All three should be configured correctly before any significant email sending.
How do I warm up a new email domain?â–¾
Email warming involves gradually increasing your daily sending volume over 4-8 weeks, starting from 20-50 emails per day and scaling to your target volume. Warmup tools (Instantly's warmup, Warmbox, Mailreach) automate this by sending emails between network accounts and automatically marking them as not spam. A warmed domain has established sending reputation before campaign launch.
