Question about spam
-
Hello,
I’m sorry if this is a silly question — I’ve only used Mailchimp in the past for newsletters and am trying to decide whether to switch to this plugin, as I’d rather not do Mailchimp.
On a new website, I setup this plugin but found that my test emails were being sent to my spam folder. I am using Elastic email for SMTP if it makes any difference. Subsequently, I was notified by my domain name provider that the domain (which was new to me) was on a blacklist due to SPAM! Since I owned the domain, I had ONLY sent messages to myself to test the plugin and only had the plugin set to double optin. So I’m not sure if the Spam complaint was something that existed on this domain before, but I got the domain cleared from the blacklist it was on.
So, I guess my question is this: if I have this plugin set up with double opt-in, am I at risk for the domain being marked as spammy based on the confirmation emails it sends out? I just want to be aware of possible ramifications before I try making a switch on my primary domain.
Thanks
