Why is my email provider blocking my emails?

Understand why your outbound emails are getting blocked

There are several reasons why your email provider may be blocking your emails. In most cases, if emails are getting blocked, you will receive a message from your email provider with a link to any details or specifics.

Some common reasons include:

  1. Spam Content: If your emails contain content that is deemed spammy or malicious, your email provider may block them to protect its users. This can include the use of certain words or phrases, the use of large fonts or bold text, or the inclusion of too many links. Each email provider will typically have policies are this, and it would be advised to review the specific policies of your email provider.

  2. Invalid Sender Information: If your sender information, such as your name or email address, is not valid, your email provider may block your emails to protect its users from phishing scams.

  3. Poor Sender Reputation: If you have a history of sending emails that are marked as spam, your email provider may start blocking your emails to protect its users from unwanted messages.

  4. Email List Quality: If the email addresses on your mailing list are outdated, invalid, or have high complaint rates, your email provider may block your emails to protect its users from receiving unwanted messages.

  5. Technical Issues: Technical issues, such as incorrect DNS records or invalid SPF and DKIM configurations, can cause your email provider to block your emails.

To resolve the issue of blocked emails, you should first review your email content to ensure that it is not spammy or malicious. Uptics has some AI Writing Assistant Tools that can help with this.

You should also make sure that your sender information is valid and that you have a good sender reputation.

Additionally, you should regularly clean your email list to remove outdated, invalid, and high-complaint email addresses using our built-in Email Validation tools.

Finally, you should ensure that your technical configurations are set up correctly and that your DNS records are up to date. The DNS Setup Indicator in Uptics will alert you if we identify any records set up incorrectly.
