Hitting a spam trap tells ISPs that your list hygiene is poor. This can lower your deliverability rate by up to 50%, reducing the chances of your emails landing in the inbox of genuine subscribers.
Multiple hits can lead to IP blacklisting, severely impacting your ability to send emails. ISPs like Google and Microsoft use blacklists to filter out spammers, making it difficult for flagged IPs to regain trust
When emails are flagged by spam filters, they don’t reach their intended recipients, lowering engagement metrics and hurting campaign effectiveness.
Consistently poor sender reputation can damage trust with ISPs and email recipients alike. This can result in your messages being filtered out before they even reach the intended inbox
Purchased lists are often outdated and filled with invalid addresses, increasing spam trap risks. Instead, focus on growing an organic, permission-based list.
Failure to clean lists regularly can lead to spam trap hits, as invalid or recycled emails remain in circulation.
Not verifying email addresses at sign-up allows typos and fake emails to slip through, raising the likelihood of spam traps.
Allowing old, unengaged contacts to remain on your list can lead to hitting recycled spam traps, as some of these addresses may no longer be in use.
