Nice, I have used this service before (along with and ), I'm up to 9/10 now for my private mail server (on Digital Ocean), still working on getting DKIM to work.īut, even scoring 9/10, I still have a lot of trouble sending mail to people on hotmail/live/outlook. One has to think that there's a better way. Every newsletter to the opt-in, well-gardened list becomes a little minefield of self-censorship as you go through multiple iterations with spamassassin, weeding out and rewording things. It is very annoying to find all sorts of things that effectively can't be discussed by mail in a list: specific drugs and technical terms used in research, any research discussion or published research that uses long technical words in close proximity, fundraising for research, and so on and so forth. It stops being a useful tool and starts being a mode of censorship that is in effect controlled by the people who practice fraud and abuse. Spamassassin is half of the bane of my life when it comes to maintaining deliverability on a scientific mailing list: It saves the annoying work of cobbling together a spamassassin test script and integrating it into your workflow, and gives you a bunch of other checks while you're at it.
#SPAMASSASSIN TESTER CODE#
Links are considered to be broken when opening one gives an error code and doesn’t load the content originally intended to be found there.Since you absolutely have to run everything you plan on sending to a mailing list via spamassassin beforehand, is a great tool. The last section of mail-tester checks whether your message contains any links, and if they’re broken.
Whether an ‘unsubscribe’ button is present - for marketing and mass emails, a method of unsubscribing must be provided by law (to comply with GDPR). Using shortened URLs will also decrease the overall score, as they may be used to conceal the actual destination. Malicious code - including potentially dangerous elements such as javascript may be seen as a security risk and cause an email to be marked as spam. Whether it includes images - image-based emails make it more difficult for spam filters to determine whether or not the content is malicious. What percentage of your message is text - a lack of special characters and punctuation may suggest an email looks more like spam. The fourth section evaluates how well formatted your email is. While the lack of DKIM deducts 1/10 from the overall score, it isn’t entirely necessary as most spam filters won’t consider its absence to be a huge concern. For example, SpamAssassin shows that this message is not signed with DKIM (this serves the same purpose as SPF by different means). The SPF record defines which mail servers are allowed to send from your domain (such as any checks were unsuccessful, this will likely decrease the overall rating given by mail-tester. Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records allow the recipient to check that your mail is authentic. In the example below, SpamAssassin found no issues as the records it checks were valid, such as SPF. SpamAssassin is a spam-filtering program, which uses various techniques to determine whether or not your mail will be flagged as spam. The ‘source’ section within this gives more detailed information on the mail servers sending and receiving your mail (including their IP addresses, and what protocol was used to encrypt the email’s content). ‘Click here to view your message’ simply displays your email’s content in basic HTML & plain text view. This includes the subject line, spam rating, and how long ago the email was submitted. If your test results aren’t displayed automatically, a list will appear for you to select from.

From this, you can scroll down to see the full report. If no other tests were recently sent to the same address as your email, you will automatically be taken to the message sent (as below). Once you have sent the email, click the ‘then check your score’ button to proceed. You should avoid generic phrases such as “”this is a test”” as it will likely be flagged as spam.
