Test email deliverability

Testing email deliverability involves checking whether your emails are being delivered to the intended recipients' inboxes or being blocked or rejected by email providers. Here are some ways to test email deliverability:

  1. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) Test: Check if your domain is set up correctly with SPF to prevent spamming. You can use online tools like SPF Record Checker or DNS Checker to test your SPF record.
  2. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) Test: Verify that your domain is set up correctly with DKIM to authenticate your emails. You can use online tools like DKIM Checker or DNS Checker to test your DKIM record.
  3. Domain Reputation Test: Check your domain's reputation by using online tools like SenderScore or Domain Reputation Checker. These tools analyze your domain's sending history and provide a score indicating its reputation.
  4. Email Authentication Test: Test your email authentication by sending an email to a mailbox that checks for authentication, such as Gmail's Spam Filter or Microsoft's Smart Network Data Services (SNDS).
  5. Blacklist Check: Check if your IP address or domain is listed on any blacklists, such as Spamhaus or SORBS. You can use online tools like Blacklist Check or DNS Checker to test your IP address or domain.
  6. Email Delivery Test: Send an email to a test mailbox and check if it's delivered to the inbox or spam folder. You can use online tools like Mailinator or 10 Minute Mail to test email delivery.
  7. Bounce Rate Test: Send a large volume of emails and check the bounce rate. A high bounce rate may indicate deliverability issues.
  8. Complaint Rate Test: Send a large volume of emails and check the complaint rate. A high complaint rate may indicate deliverability issues.
  9. Email Client Test: Test your emails on different email clients, such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo, to ensure they're being delivered correctly.
  10. Monitor Your Email Metrics: Keep an eye on your email metrics, such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates, to identify any deliverability issues.
