FAQ
Is Email Spam Checker free?
A free email spam checker tool is included in our Email Sandbox’s free tier, which allows you to test up to 50 emails per month. If you need more, you can upgrade to a paid plan. Check our pricing page for more details.
How does Spam Checker work?
Our spam checker uses the Apache SpamAssassin email filter to determine the spam rating of your emails. It runs numerous tests on email headers and body text to detect red flags and assign a score to each.
How can I use the Email Spam Checker tool?
To use Spam Checker, all you have to do is sign up. A virtual sandbox will be created by default, and you can start capturing emails right away.
Can I test email campaigns with Spam Checker?
Yes, you can test any emails with the spam checker, be it newsletters, email notifications, cold emails for outreach, or marketing campaigns. There’s no limitation on the types of emails you can test.
Can Spam Checker help if my IP or domain has been blacklisted?
If your email spam check shows that your IP or domain name appears in any of the blacklists, the issue has to be resolved with the blacklists themselves.
For that, go to the Spam Analysis tab in Mailtrap and click the resource name that shows Listed status; it’s hyperlinked to the blacklist website. There, check the blacklists’ rules for delisting and follow their instructions.
Once your domain is delisted, make sure you follow anti-spam laws and email best practices to avoid getting blacklisted in the future.
Can Spam Checker help me avoid high bounce rates?
Yes, it can. If your domain or IP has been blacklisted, your emails are likely to bounce, depending on the receiving mail server’s configuration. With the spam checker, you can view blacklist results before your emails hit the recipients’ servers.
Plus, all the emails you send to your sandbox are captured with the fake SMTP server, meaning that even if you send your test emails to invalid email addresses, it won’t cause actual bounces.
