Can 5 unsubscribes (out of 5k emails) cause your emails to go to the spam filter?

This is what I think has happened. Only transactional emails can be sent without unsub link. Others should be sent with one (and it should actually work).
Also, are those double opt in subs? Did you suddenly change the topic of the newsletters? That can be bad as well. Let’s say someone subbed for a tech newsletter and got one about sex dolls.

You may have received a complaint
Yes I included it. 0.1% unsubscribes in total.
Same topic, same subject, same body, same everything.
Only difference is yesterday I sent it in batches (1-2k at a time), today in one go.
Should I have warmed it up slowly like yesterday?
Maybe. Any way I can check this?
Is there a way to see how many ppl marked as spam?

Hmm then I guess it’s your sender…Or total amount of spam reports is big enough (unsub != spam report).

No, not that I know of
Should I send the emails again with a different subject and body text?
If a sending domain gets a lot of spam reports, is it fucked? Or can it recover easily?

Talk with the support of your autoresponder
+ There is a way to hijack this and if someone complains
your autoresponder won't know

If you are using a legit sender, they will almost always have one. For example sendgrid has one:

May be let it cool down for a day or two and try again. The chances of that working is slim though. Sorry to say.

It always happens.I am also facing the same issue.As soon as a few of your email receivers complain,your next emails start falling in the spam box.
I have tried warming up my lists before sending the promotional emails but that doesn't work for a long term.Once you send your first promotional email and a few of your subscribers complain,your further emails start falling in the spam folder no matter how much warm up you do.I have tried multiple tier-1 autoresponders as well as self hosted solutions like Mautic but the same issue occurs over and over.

That’s not bad imo.
So out of 10k emails we cant have a couple of them complain?
Seems like an unrealistic goal. You sure this is the issue?

Probably because it's reported as spam
