# Reduce SPAM rate in emails

SPAM emails are unsolicited or unwanted messages sent in bulk, often for promotional purposes. They can include irrelevant content, misleading information, or even malicious links and are typically sent without the recipient's permission.

\
**The email may be categorized as SPAM for a variety of reasons, some of which are outlined below:** 

1. Sender Patterns (Mass sending from new IP/ sender)
2. Content Characteristics (Excessive use of capital letters or symbols (!!!!, $$$))
3. Technical Indicators (HTML code containing hidden text or scripts)
4. Behavioral Flags (Links to suspicious websites)
5. Language Patterns (Overly formal or awkward phrasing)
6. IP or Domain Reputation

If a domain reputation is identified as neutral, we recommend taking steps to improve it to a "Good" rating by following these best practices. Implementing these strategies can significantly enhance email deliverability and boost overall campaign performance:

1. List Hygiene:
