How to prevent email spamming?

Email marketing is surely one of the best ways to promote your business to potential customers. In fact, many businesses use email marketing to stay in touch with other businesses as well. This allows them to collaborate and handle business deals in an effective manner. Having said that, considering the popularity of mail marketing, I must say that email spamming has become a real problem. Many mail services do offer protection to some extent. However, despite this, email spamming cannot be stopped completely.
 
Email spamming is when you send too many emails and when you send emails that your audience is not interested in. To avoid this, you need to limit to 1-2 emails per week, and segment your email subscribers and send emails that they might find interesting.
 
I prevent email spamming by using strong filters, verifying sender addresses, avoiding sharing my email publicly, and unsubscribing from unwanted lists. Educating myself about phishing helps too. Staying cautious keeps my inbox cleaner and safer.
 
Many businesses now use professional email addresses that can enable them to bypass filters. The problem arises when such businesses usually try to spam the mail box with useless mails. Under such kind of conditions, the recipient could potentially block the mails. There is an option in mail settings of many email providers that enable the user to block mails sent by spammers. Having said that, if a business tries to spam the mailbox of their customers, then this will certainly backfire.
 
Even if you are sending emails through a custom email address, if you are sending emails to the wrong people (people who never subscribed to your services or people who are not interested in your offering), you will be practically spamming.
 
You should always get permission before sending emails, you can use use double opt-in. You need to keep subject lines honest, avoid spammy words, and provide a clear unsubscribe option. Segmenting your list and sending relevant content also helps reduce spam complaints.
