HIGH β Verizon/Yahoo (Yahoo/AOL)
283 unique Yahoo/AOL spam complaints = 50% of all spam signals. 195 hard bounces (41% of total hard bounces).
β Create Yahoo/AOL suppression segment. Suppress @yahoo.com/@aol.com with 0 opens in 180+ days before next Master List send.
HIGH β Hotmail/Outlook Spam Rate
215 unique Hotmail/Outlook spam complaints = 38% of all spam signals. Microsoft applies engagement-based filtering aggressively.
β Create Outlook engagement segment. Suppress @hotmail/@outlook/@msn with 0 opens in 180+ days.
HIGH β Campaign Unsub Rate 1.63%
13 sends to ~330K in March pushed campaign unsub rate to 1.63% β above the 0.20% benchmark. High frequency month but not sustainable.
β Limit Master List sends to β€5/month. Route additional sends to Engaged 180D segment only. Monitor April unsub rate as leading indicator.
MEDIUM β Comcast Spam Disproportionate
60 Comcast spam complaints on very low bounce count β disproportionate signal for the domain volume.
β Audit Comcast address segment. Suppress non-engagers. Review if a specific send targeted Comcast-heavy audience.
LOW β Google Postmaster Tools
Gmail domain reputation not directly visible without GPT registration. 114 hard Gmail bounces this month.
β Register gravitydefyer.com at postmaster.google.com for direct domain and IP reputation data.
NOTE β Apple MPP Soft Bounce Inflation
925 Apple soft bounces β likely inflated by Mail Privacy Protection pre-fetch behavior. Not true delivery failures.
β Do not suppress Apple subscribers on soft bounces alone. Use click rate or purchase activity as engagement signal for @icloud.com/@apple.com.
