What are they policing besides the very basics you should be doing anyways?

• bravetraveler 4y ago
  Plenty, but I'm not in the space to speak to specifics. A personal friend runs MXRoute and they could go on, and on, and on about how maintaining delivery for them is a very expensive venture -- and I promise you they're doing these 'very basics' At a minimum you'll need several outbound systems with queuing that leverages them. IP reputation is a full time affair

    IP reputation is done by everyone doing email who aren't tiny, in both directions. The large players really aren't doing anything special. It's just frequency bias, because you want to deliver to them. It's also a full-time affair only if you're trying to deliver content people don't want. Yes it takes some effort in all cases because you can't just go on and start blasting, but it's not a full-time effort with those providers.

  Try to send a short and concise email to gmail, especially from a new alias. Instant spam folder. Fill the mail with AI-generated gibberish (or just whatever scam you want) and it's suddenly fine. Want to send to outlook? Better pony up for a whole /24 or they will drop all your mail from time to time because of a bad neighbor that you have no control over. That is the kind of policies they are setting.

    You're surprised that by following the pattern of a dead-average spammer your letters got treated as spam? That was rhetorical, don't answer. I think you misinterpreted my sentence in one dimension, it's not that they don't require things, it's that everyone does. Build reputation, pick a better neighborhood, you'll be fine. It's not Google's fault, it's just the vast amounts of abuse they get that follows the exact pattern you did.
