Email Spam Checker

No. This email spam checker scores copy-level risk — words, phrases, and patterns inside subject and body. A full deliverability audit covers more:

• Authentication — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC must align for the sending domain.
• Domain reputation — age, history, blacklists, and complaint rate all matter.
• IP reputation — dedicated IPs need warmup; shared IPs depend on neighbor behavior.
• List hygiene — bounce rate, spam-trap hits, and engagement signals are tracked by mailbox providers.

Use this checker to fix copy risks first, then validate the rest with GlockApps, MailTester, or Postmark plus your DNS records.

Most outbound teams keep copy scores under 25 for routine sending. Targets shift with volume and audience trust:

• 0-24 (low risk) — safe baseline for cold outbound, lifecycle, and newsletter content.
• 25-59 (medium risk) — rewrite high-risk phrases before scaling; single sends to engaged lists are usually fine.
• 60+ (high risk) — pause; volume from this band triggers filter penalties that linger for weeks.

Track score by sequence over time; a creeping average means a template changed without re-checking. Tighten the threshold for cold outbound and loosen slightly for opted-in newsletters.

Yes. The same trigger-word patterns apply to newsletters and promotional email, with different tolerance levels:

• Cold outbound — lowest tolerance; filters apply tighter rules to unknown senders.
• Lifecycle and transactional — medium tolerance; engaged recipients rarely mark as spam.
• Promotional and newsletter — highest tolerance for marketing language, but watch complaint rate over time.

A "free trial extended" subject may pass for an engaged newsletter list but land in spam from a cold sequence. Keep separate score targets per channel in your playbook, and re-check copy whenever you reuse a template across channels.

Spam filters scan patterns, not single words. A harmless word can move the score when it clusters with other risky signals:

• Repetition — the same trigger word three times in a short body multiplies risk.
• Density — a 50-word email with five risky phrases scores higher than a 500-word email with the same five scattered.
• Combinations — "free" + "guaranteed" + "act now" forms a high-pressure pattern filters explicitly model.
• Punctuation and case — ALL CAPS, multiple exclamation marks, and excess currency symbols amplify any word-level risk.

Thin out the cluster around the flagged word instead of deleting it.

Lower copy risk is step one — protect inbox placement by completing the deliverability checklist:

1. Authenticate — confirm SPF, DKIM, DMARC are configured and aligned for your sending domain.
2. Warm infrastructure — new domains and IPs need a gradual ramp before volume sends.
3. Validate the list — verify addresses and remove hard bounces, role accounts, and spam traps.
4. Monitor engagement — open, reply, and complaint rate are leading indicators of filter trouble.
5. Watch blacklists — scan weekly against Spamhaus, Barracuda, and SURBL.
6. Set hard thresholds — auto-pause if bounce >3% or complaint >0.1%.
