Email server tests are essential to improve email server performance and boost your inbox placement.
But, even if your test looks clean, here are some additional factors to consider.
Clean your email list — Even a well-configured email server can’t deliver emails to invalid addresses.
Use an email verifier to check your contacts and eliminate any that are invalid or high-risk.
Check email server blacklists — If email delivery issues persist, your domain may be on an email blacklist. Try a Blacklist Monitor to compare your domain against 200+ blacklists, and get alerted any time you’re listed.
Secure your email domain — Email security has always been essential, but now it’s a requirement. Creating email authentication records for SPF, DKIM, or DMARC is free. However, using a tool like DMARC Monitor simplifies the task of creating and enabling records while also providing automated reporting for any suspicious or malicious activity.
Test your email content — When everything else is configured correctly, your email content is the answer. Many mail servers include built-in spam filters that may block your emails based on certain words, phrases, or images in your email. Try an inbox placement tester to compare your email content against popular mail providers before sending.
Don’t lose out on email marketing sales. Use the easy, 3-step email server tester tool and fix email delivery problems like an expert.

Server Test
An email server is a communications system that manages how you send and receive emails. There are two primary types of email servers: the outgoing server (interchangeable with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol or SMTP) and the incoming/receiving mail server. Both servers/protocols work together to successfully move a message from sender to receiver.
