Words and Phrases That Trigger Spam Filters

Spam filters use a variety of techniques to keep unwanted mail out of your inbox.  Most examine the characteristics of a message, such as the number and size of its images and the words used in the text and score the message.  As the score gets higher the likelihood a message will be blocked as spam increases.

So what are spam filters looking for?

  • Images accompanied by little or no text
  • Very long lists of recipients
  • Large or very long messages exceeding a recipient’s limit
  • Attachments
  • Colored backgrounds
  • Large fonts
  • Colored fonts
  • Punctuation in the subject line
  • Words in ALL CAPS in the subject line
  • Trigger words or phrases in the body or subject line

The list of trigger words is growing and changing constantly, but the small sample below will give you an idea of some of the “spammatical” errors that can stop your email marketing dead in its tracks.
