SpamCheck Option

Dear Subscriber,

Welcome to the new issue of Zinester Publisher News!

In this issue of our newsletter we want to show you how to avoid the main problem ezine publishers face today - spam filters!

Nowadays many ISPs have implemented filtering software that examines email for certain "triggers" - certain phrases, formatting or aggressive writing styles. The problem is that the filters become so sensitive that newsletters and ezines are likely not to get through to the subscriber.

It means that you have to take great care now preparing your newsletter. Otherwise your publishing efforts could be wasted as the spam-filters will block it wrongly.

What can you do about it?

The main thing you can do is to carefully avoid (in the subject and the body of the newsletter) all words that are likely to trigger anti-spam filters.

Here are listed the most common "trigger" words and phrases that you may be using:

  • click here
  • for free
  • great offer
  • order now
  • check or money order
  • cancel at any time
  • congratulations
  • dear friend
  • email marketing
  • amazing
  • for only
  • guarantee
  • special promotion
  • winner
  • increase sales


  • And here you can get a list of Microsoft Outlook Spam Filter Keywords. You should try to avoid these words and phrases if you want your newsletter to be delivered to subscribers that use Microsoft Outlook for their email program.

    Zinester would like to announce the release of SpamCheck Option!

    One of the most popular filter programs today is SpamAssassin and we have incorporated its rules into our SpamCheck Option. So before you send your newsletter to subscribers, do a check to see if you need to change any part of it.

    The SpamCheck report will tell you exactly which words are costing you points. Usually you should be concerned only if your score is more then 5 points, in this case you can either delete those words or replace them.
