The subject text definitely matters. However, in this study, that text is not as important to spam filters anymore. They referenced using the word "Free" by way of example and said that you could now get through spam filters easier than in the past. The post has been corrected.

So does the wording of the subject really not matter? Obviously words such as XXX and other pornography related phrases will send off some triggers, but words such as "Free trial" - are they normally OK?

I've heard from some Deliverability Consultants that ISPs are getting more strict on domains in the sender's email address matching the actual source domain as well. Also, I was startled to discover the top sources of SPAM (ISP) today: http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/06/02/spamhaus/ Regards, Doug Great tips.

If you are under that, start looking for problems. Start with more obvious things than just content--malformed HTML, too many images, domain blacklisted, opt-out info incorrect, etc. You should be able to send out your entire newsletter without problems--plenty of similar companies do. A bit of work will pay big dividends. Email is one of the best friends of an online business. If you can achieve a deliverability rate of 80-90%, that is probably the best you can hope for.

I've had some issues with deliverability already even though the list is fairly small. Would publishing the newsletter on my site and just sending out an email linking to it be a bad idea? I mean would I lose any advantages? I’ve just started sending out a regular newsletter from one of my sites. I’ve had some issues with deliverability already even though the list is fairly small.

I'm a little confused with your second piece of advice. It's preferable to have ay7582najg4oi6nxl3iu3a68athse@yourcompany.com as the 'from'? Or should it be the other way 'round? Hey Greg, nice post.
