Spam filters and deliverability: staying on the good side of mailbox providers

Spam is everywhere. Literally. You’ve probably noticed this yourself, just by looking through your inbox, but what actually gets through to you is a minimal fraction of what gets sent every day. Mailbox providers see a colossal amount of spam – or worse, fraudulent or phishing – emails coming their way. It’s a bigger amount than you might be able to imagine, and that’s why mailbox providers need spam filters that do a really good job at identifying these messages before they reach your inbox.
