How to level up my deliverability?

Deliverability general guide

Deliverability comes down to sending like a real person and protecting your sender reputation. Here are the practical habits that make the biggest difference.

Content and formatting

  • Use text-only emails. Plain text (rather than heavy HTML) reduces spam signals and improves deliverability.

  • Limit images and links, especially in the first email. On SMTP mailboxes, our built-in Global Custom Domain Tracking automatically replaces links with safe alternatives, so you don't need a third-party tracking domain.

  • Keep signatures minimal. Avoid extra domains, links, phone numbers, and photos, which spam filters weigh against you.

  • Avoid spam words. Check your copy — including the signature and any unsubscribe text — for trigger words.

  • Include a clear unsubscribe option in the email body. Maildoso's sending relay strips List-Unsubscribe/List-Unsubscribe-Post headers on every plan, so a header-based unsubscribe won't work — always include a visible, functional unsubscribe link or opt-out instruction directly in the body text to comply with regulations and avoid spam filters. For the full reasoning (including why PTR and DKIM work the same way) see Does Maildoso support List-Unsubscribe (one-click unsubscribe) headers? in this collection.
