About Mail-Tester

Mail-Tester (www.mail-tester.com) is like a health check for your emails before you send them to your customers. Just like you'd test drive a car before buying it, Mail-Tester lets you test your emails to make sure they'll actually reach people's inboxes instead of ending up in spam folders.

Think of it as your email's report card – it gives you a score out of 10 and tells you exactly what needs fixing. If you have trouble delivering email running a test here is probably a good starting point.

  • Newsletters ending up in spam folders
