If you’re sending emails and your recipients see the alert “this message might be suspicious or spam,” it can damage your credibility and lower your email open rates. This issue happens even if you’ve already registered your domain name and set up a professional email. The good news is that you can fix “this message might be suspicious or spam” warning by following a few proven steps.
1. You need to set up a DMARC record.
2. Send emails from an address other than your [email protected]. For example, use [email protected] or [email protected] for marketing emails, and [email protected] for notifications.
3. Consider using a subdomain if desired. For instance, use [email protected] for marketing emails. Using a subdomain helps manage and protect your primary domain’s reputation—if a subdomain is flagged for spam, it won’t affect your main domain.
4. Improve your email content significantly; this is crucial.
