Sending bulk emails. How do I not look like a spammer?



I have a list of email addresses, about 500, all with consent to be emailed, which I would like to email about a building product I’m marketing. But I’ve heard of people’s email accounts getting blocked when sending lots of emails and I don’t want this happening to me.

How do I prevent my account from being blocked?
What are the limits on sending bulk emails?
Who decides that an account is being used for spam? The ISP or the hosting company that hosts the mailbox?

Many thanks

  1. 1) No idea, such “blacklists” are individually maintained and have different criterias.

    2) Limits on sending is set by ISP

    3) Spam filters are usually outsourced to some third-part company.

    If you only have 500, and you slow the send to maybe 1-2 seconds each e-mail, you’ll get done and doubt it’ll trigger a spam alert.

    Esp. if you PROVE that you got “subscribe” request from each and every address.

    Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.

  2. There are a lot of services out there but I typically use. They will help you with most of these issues. They design and test your templates. Plus, emails are sent from their service so you avoid blocks. contact them, im sure they will answer any questions you may have.
