The first, and often biggest, challenge of email
marketing is getting your message delivered
successfully

Some popular methods for filtering and refusing spam include email
filtering based on the content of the email, DNS-based blackhole lists (DNSBL), greylisting, spamtraps
![Page 9: SugarCRM User Group ONLINE: Email Campaigns Part I](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/553a87294a79593e2c8b4582/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In recent years, mainly due to concerns over spam and a general trend towards centralization, problems have arisen for small organizations and home users wishing to run their own email server.
As of 2011 many ISPs pre-emptively block outgoing connections to TCP port 25 on domestic
connections, and larger email providers have increasingly stringent requirements for other
servers that wish to transfer emails to them. For example: reverse PTR records of the sending mail server are often checked before accepting mail. The PTR record must be set up by the ISP, which may refuse this request to a small-business or
domestic user.

Other problems encountered by small mail-servers include zealous use of
blacklisting and a presumption of guilt by blacklisting services and large email
providers, which classify "new" servers as spammers by default. Such measures have inevitably reduced the overall
number of small email-servers, and some end-users have opted to outsource to
paid services instead, exacerbating[citation needed] the problem for those not wishing to
outsource.

CAN-SPAM Act of 2003
• Unsubscribe compliance– A visible and operable unsubscribe mechanism is present in all
emails.– Consumer opt-out requests are honored within 10 days.– Opt-out lists also known as Suppression lists are only used for
compliance purposes.
• Content compliance– Accurate from lines (including "friendly froms")– Relevant subject lines (relative to offer in body content and not
deceptive)– A legitimate physical address of the publisher and/or advertiser is
present.– A label is present if the content is adult.
• Sending behavior compliance– A message cannot be sent through an open relay– A message cannot contain a false header
