In light of the never ending spam problem, most email clients now have some sort of spam filter installed. These filters catch spam email and either move it to a ‘spam folder’ or automatically delete it. After spending a good deal of time working over your series of autoresponder messages, it would be a shame to discover that the majority of the messages that are sent out finish up in the spam folder, or are automatically deleted as spam!

You can avoid this in two ways. Firstly, when anyone signs up to receive information from your autoresponder, have them automatically redirected to a page that gives them instructions for ‘white listing’ your email address. Email clients have an actual white list where the owner of the email client can add specific addresses that should never be looked upon as spam.

The other method you can employ to make certain that your autoresponder messages get through the spam filters is to check them using one of the various spam checkers that are available online. These programs are often web based, and free to use. They check your message for words or phrases that commonly trigger spam filters in email clients. Do not send out any autoresponder messages without ensuring that you are able to beat the spam filters.
