Email Deliverability
As the quantity of spam increases the issue of spam blocking and false

receivers (ISPs). Large ISPs are blocking billions of spam messages per day
and are taking ever more aggressive steps to keep spam out of their users'
inboxes. An unfortunate side effect of this is that much non-spam gets
mis-identified, a problem known as “false positives”. Studies
show that as much as 18% of all marketing email does not get correctly
delivered to the recipients' inbox. While there are many proposed solutions
to this problem there is no “silver bullet” in sight. Request this factsheet »
