Why your cold emails land in spam

It's almost never your subject line. It's usually one of these.

Missing or broken SPF/DKIM/DMARC

Auth failures = instant spam folder.

Cold domain, no warm-up

Brand-new domains get sandboxed for 4–6 weeks.

High bounce rate

Over 5% and providers throttle you fast.

Spam-trigger words

Free, guarantee, click here — minor signals, not the main issue.

Bad list quality

Catch-all + stale data = spam-trap hits.
