Technical Issues

Why is my email receiving a high spam score?
High spam scores can be caused by various factors including spammy words in your content, poor HTML structure, missing or incorrect email headers, blacklisted sending domains or IPs, or a high image-to-text ratio. Our detailed report will help you identify and fix these issues.
The system says my test failed. What should I do?
If your test failed, it could be due to an invalid email format, corrupted attachments, or server issues. Try simplifying your email, removing attachments, and testing again. If the problem persists, contact our support team with the error details.

Security & Privacy

How do you handle my email data?
We use the emails you send only to produce your report and to help if you contact support. We never sell them or use them for marketing. We keep each email with its results so your report and email preview stay available in your test history. All connections to SpamBarometer are encrypted (HTTPS). You can ask us to delete a test, or your account and all its tests, at any time through the contact form. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
Is my data shared with third parties?
We do not share your email content or personal information with third parties except as required to provide our service (such as processing payments). We may use anonymized, aggregated data for improving our spam detection algorithms.
