If mail goes to spam while using Postmark, it's almost ALWAYS related to the content. So we built this very simply tool to help you test the headers and contents of your emails to make sure that they're scoring as well as possible to go one step further in avoiding the spam folder!
We decided to offer it as a free API to make the world of email just a bit better. We also built a simple single-page scoring tool for anyone to use even if they're not API savvy.
Ideas and feedback are welcome!
- DTrejo 15y agoThis is great — now I can test my spamminess without needing to have an expert look at it first :) Update: would be nice to see a legend with the whole scale ratings possible.
- orenmazor 15y agoThe scale is actually just the SpamAssassin score. Usually anything over 5 can cause delivery problems as the SpamAssassin daemon will mark it as spam. keep in mind though that this is configurable and other people's servers can set a different value. but from my experience, five seems to be the average.
- biot 15y agoThe documentation page says: > Postmark's spam API is a mostly RESTfull interface to the Spam filter > tool SpamAssassin. ... > This is free to use and may be updated, removed or changed at any time. If there's nothing particularly proprietary about the setup, it'd be great to open source it and release it as a public Amazon EC2 AMI. That way, others can play around and tweak it and it would remove the dependency on a third-party service of uncertain longevity.
