Yes, the big mail providers are an issue. But it's also an issue the other way around. We use Postmark at my place of work and unfortunately, that doesn't prevent all of our mail from being marked as spam. Some mail gets blocked because it comes from the same IP address as some spam mail. I know that Postmark puts effort in preventing spammers to use their service but Amazon probably doesn't care a lot about people misusing SES.
- luckylion 7y agoWouldn't that imply that they have a lot of spammers on their network? As far as I understand, the value proposition is both "you don't need to worry about email" and "we have so many customers (sending legitimate emails that are very similar in content) and so little spam, we have great reputation and you're inheriting that reputation". If that doesn't work out, is their reputation not good enough? Is the receiving server too strict? Are those blocks occurring on major providers or for individual servers where an annoyed person might just blacklist an IP if they get spam from them more than once?
- bcrosby95 7y agoNote that "a lot of spammers" isn't really a lot in laymen terms. It varies by provider, but last I worked on this if anywhere from 2-5% of all emails you send are clicked as spam the provider will start blocking you. We got blocked once because we got a single spam click: the ISP said they have a zero tolerance policy. We had years of sending hundreds of email per week without a spam click.
