How to avoid getting into spam lists?

Question

Email

Gentlemen, tell me, please, about the possibility of conducting your own e-mail newsletters.

The situation is such that every day I send out one letter to all registered users of the service, to which they themselves subscribed and confirmed the subscription.
Since I'm afraid to get into spam lists, I decided to use specialized services.
Of the main requirements for the mailing service, these are open APIs so that I can send personalized messages depending on user preferences, I selectively form the content of the letter from the database.
So far I have found only one similar service - UniSender.

Less than 10,000 users so far, the cost of this service is not significant - $ 200 per month, but as the number of subscribers grows, the costs can increase many times over.
The resource itself lies on Amazon EC2

Actually, the very questions that I wanted to ask you:
1) what alternative mailing services with open APIs can you advise me (can be foreign ones) ??? Criteria - reliability, convenience, price.

2) can such services really protect me from spam lists and, if they do, can solve this problem, as they say?

3)how to do mailings on your own from your servers, so as not to get into spam lists? what specialists are needed for this? And is it possible to solve the problem in case of a hit? (I would be grateful for links to a detailed discussion of these issues)

4) when they get into spam mailing lists, do they determine letters by the IP address from which the letters come, by domain or something else? Does the content of the email itself affect the marking of it as spam?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81126 waving, first google search for "google newsletters".

Answer 2

Another point - if you know the user's first and last name, then insert them into the body of the letter. This greatly reduces the likelihood of getting into the spam list.

Answer 3

Do not send spam and you won't get in, and it doesn't matter from which domain and ip

Answer 4

I doubt that paid mailing services are generally worth using if you can set up and organize it yourself. A correctly sent letter can be perceived as spam when a lot of these letters are sent to the same service, for example, mail.ru can mark messages as spam according to an algorithm known only to them. I had a similar case, after contacting the support service and explaining that this is not spam, the problem was solved.
Therefore, it seems to me that it is worth creating accounts on those resources that are popular among your subscribers, and if the letter does not reach your account, solve the problem with the blocking service separately

Answer 5

In fact, no company will open their spam filters. If they don't like something, they just block it by IP. Well, if there are a lot of users on the "spam" button, then that's it. There are paid services on email hosting for the so-called "Whitelisting", but with your volumes, this is not interesting. The easiest and most reliable way to work with the official "mailers". I use kajomi.de

Answer 6

And about point 4 - for open popular spam filtering solutions, usually all indicators are taken into account and add up to the rating of the letter, which determines whether the letter is spam or not.

Answer 7

The answer to the question is don't spam.

Answer 8

Thank you. A very important question for me.
