Yesterday I talked about how to avoid your emails from being put on a blocked list. Today I will talk about Email firewalls. They are a piece of software used to block untrustworthy emails. An email firewall can be configured to block any level of emails.
Example: A person may configure there emails to block an email with certain content. Another person may block there email from certain senders.
To target if your email is being blocked from a firewall is pretty tough to do. Since fire walls have so many different variables there really isn't a way of detecting this. If your ESP provides a report of bounced emails you can at least see what email addresses are being blocked. This will give you the opportunity of taking action on your emails.
3 tactics you can use to keep your email from possibly getting blocked.
* Ask your subscribers if they can add your address to their address book so your emails will no longer get blocked. You can do this by adding it to your subscribers welcome letter.
* Ask your blocked subscribers if they can provide you with an alternative email.
* If your email is a business email, you can ask your IT department to please add your address to the companies contact list. Most fire walls will ignore the command if your address is in the friends contact list.
These are just a few precautions you can take to keep your emails from being blocked from the recipients.
