[TIP] Hit Gmail Inbox -

Hello,

I have installed my own SMTP server(s) consist of postfix,DKIM,SPF,rDNS and ip rotations.
To back end I am using Interspire Email Marketer to create and blast my campaigns.

After much testing (subject,content,HTML structure) I am able to inbox to all big email providers I have test as yahoo,hotmail and etc.

I was encountered some problem with gmail where almost always mail went to spam folder (brand new SMTP , no blacklisted ip with DKIM,SPF and rDNS all in place)
.
Then after several attempts I realized that if I was sending same message to another address and then FORWARD message to gmail it was hitting inbox. Same message from same SMTP with same ip.
Looking to automate it I just added to header of the HTML email I blast the forward header, for example " to:[email protected]", and voila mail PASSED!!!!


I do not know how gmail spam filter score message but it seems that if message seems to be forwarded it gets lower score.

The above is my personal experience and worked for me.You can do the test yourself too.

Thanks
TEO

Hi bro, I'm trying to hit Gmail inbox as a marketer.
I tried it, added that forwarded from text to the first of my email, and in the subject line "Fw: XXXX". but they still go to the promotion tab!
Do you have any suggestions?!!
