How do I avoid spam traps?

  • Never buy an email list. Spam traps are often placed there to catch spammers.
  • Use a double opt-in process for subscribers. A spam trap isn't managed by a real person, so it will help you avoid adding them.
  • Use a free spam trap checker to verify new email addresses before sending a campaign.
  • Monitor your campaigns for deliverability issues like high bounce rates and low open rates. Your list might have a spam trap.

Frequently asked questions

A spam trap is an email address created or repurposed by email and blacklist providers to identify businesses that demonstrate spammy, unsafe email-sending practices. Spam traps can either be a unique email address created for this purpose or an older email address that's been repurposed to target spammers.
