Email delivery

Why are my B2B emails going to spam?

Inbox placement depends on several factors, including authentication, sender reputation, recipient expectations, complaints, and message quality. A successful send only means the receiving system accepted the message; it does not prove inbox placement. Investigate evidence before changing domains or increasing volume.

How to approach it

  1. Check authentication results on a message received at an address you control.
  2. Review bounces, complaints, and recent sending changes.
  3. Pause weak targeting and remove invalid or opted-out contacts.
Illustrative example

If delivery problems begin after a large volume increase, reduce activity and inspect provider responses. Rewriting a few “spam words” will not repair an unverified sender or an unwanted campaign.
