Is Your Email Landing in Spam? Find Out in 60 Seconds

You’ve spent an hour writing the perfect email. The subject line is great. The content is relevant. You hit send and... nothing. No opens. No clicks. No replies.

Because your email never made it to the inbox. It’s sitting in spam folders across the country and you have absolutely no idea. SpamBarometer tells you exactly where your emails are going and why.

Why Your Emails End Up in Spam

It’s rarely about the content. Most email deliverability problems come down to technical setup that nobody told you about.

Your authentication is broken. SPF, DKIM and DMARC records tell email providers that you’re who you say you are. If they’re missing, misconfigured, or conflicting, your emails look suspicious.

Your content triggers spam filters. Certain phrases, formatting patterns, and HTML structures set off alarms. Your sender reputation is poor. If your domain or IP has a history of spam complaints, bounces, or low engagement, email providers remember.

What SpamBarometer Does

The features that make a real difference.

Email Authentication Validation

Checks SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. If any are missing, misconfigured or conflicting, SpamBarometer flags it and tells you exactly what to fix.

SpamAssassin Scoring

Your email gets run through SpamAssassin. You get a score with a rule-by-rule breakdown showing exactly which elements triggered flags and how many points each cost you.

Content Analysis

Examines text-to-HTML ratio, link analysis including URL reputation and redirect chains, image usage, trigger phrases, and subject line assessment.

AI-Powered Recommendations

GPT-4 reviews your full diagnostic and generates plain-English recommendations tailored to your specific email. Not generic advice — specific, prioritised actions.
