Spam is one thing we have to take seriously. Those spam emails that are received produce frustration, waste of time and stress for those who receive them. It must also be taken into account for those who send them, because they can negatively affect them if they do not take the appropriate measures. If we are the owner of a website or a company, what we will never want is for our emails to be sent to false or non-existent addresses. Therefore, if things are not done properly, our emails may end up in the recipient’s Spam folder. In this article we will see how you can check if you have fake emails in your database thanks to Mailboxlayer.
Fake emails ending as spam
When we have to send a lot of emails, it is possible that false emails are sneaked in that in the long run can end up harming us. This can have negative consequences for the website or company that makes them, because then fixing things costs more. In the end these e-mails will end up in the Spam folder. As we usually do not check our spam folder, the opening of these emails will be greatly reduced. Therefore that information or marketing campaign that is launched will end up failing without any doubt. In that sense, it may be interesting to know why emails arrive as spam if they are not.
For this reason, before sending these e-mails, it is advisable to verify all the e-mail addresses in our database to identify and eliminate the false ones. On this occasion, to protect ourselves from these false emails, we can use the Mailboxlayer API.
