Deliverability Strategies

In business, the sending of one-to-one or one-to-few emails operates on a send-and-forget principle.  By pressing the send button, one safely assumes that the email will arrive at its intended destination.  High volume email, on the other hand, is a far more challenging endeavor and many organizations mistakenly assume that the simplicity and ease-of-use of business email applies to commercial messaging as well.
Delivery tools, techniques and authentication standards
  • Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
  • Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM)
  • Whitelisting/Accreditation
  • Greylisting
  • Blacklisting or Real-Time Blackhole Lists (RBL)
  • Throttling
  • Content filtering
