Having your e-mail blacklisted is very annoying because your messages won’t reach the recipient. Analyzing why your e-mail ends up in a blacklist is the first step to avoid it.
You can have your e-mail blacklisted at any moment. It normally depends on the use you give to your email account, but sometimes a virus or hacker may be involved. In this article you will find some recommendations to use your e-mail safely and avoid blacklists.
Motives for having your e-mail blacklisted
In case your personal or work e-mail becomes blacklisted, it’s important to identify the reason. That way you can learn who to contact in order to try the removal of the ban.
Send too many mails
If you send too many mails in a short amount of time there’s a possibility that your e-mail becomes blacklisted as Spam. It’s very common for enterprise mail accounts when you send too many mails to your clients in a short period of time.
Users highlight you as Spam
In case other users highlight your e-mail account as Spam, you can be blacklisted. When users sent your messages to the “undesired inbox” the system may highlight your e-mail account as Spam and then put it in a blacklist. Beware of this because your reputation may also be affected by this decision. Don’t write the e-mail issue with capital letters or using suspicious links or files to prevent blacklisting.
Someone has access to your e-mail account
A hacker may have entered your e-mail and replace your identity. In case he starts sending off mails, your account can be blacklisted because of third-party activities. You can protect your e-mail account to the maximum using secure passwords and enabling two steps authentication methods.
Dubious supplier
In case you are using an e-mail provider of dubious reputation, you can also suffer from blacklisting. These dubious suppliers are mostly related with Spam and Phishing campaigns and that’s why your mail can get into a blacklist. Try using Gmail, Outlook and the most popular e-mail providers to make sure your messages arrive safely.
