the funny thing about outlook is not even mentioned here, it seems that they have absolutely no spam filter? I get more spam (and the stupid obvious one, like 2004 phishing methods) into my outlook inbox than into my gmail throwaway email intentionally created to receive spam and crap signups, it just baffles me
They definitely have anti spam. It's great at triggering on emails from a self hosted email server.
I've been maintaining one for a few years and have pretty good deliverability. 95% of the time when there's an issue it's Outlook/Hotmail marking me as spam. And no I don't do email marketing or newsletters.
Yeah, love all the innovation and competition in the mail clients nowadays.
You sell your data to big companies or you get spam blocked by these companies, if you self host.
Why google would invent better email sender validation procedures and encryption, if the current system works pretty well for them.
We use outlook for work. The only emails that go to my spam are new sales appointments from Salesforce. Just the most important, time-sensitive emails that I recieve. No matter how much I mess with the settings nor how many I flag as not spam, Microsoft is adamant that it's spam.
Salesforce meeting requests are spam. I get several dozen unsolicited first-contact meeting requests per week from sales weasels at companies I’ve never done business with. Most have salesforce or pardot references in the headers.
A CRM system has no business sending these out to leads who’ve never consented and are simply imported from Zoominfo or whatever. I’m glad MSFT finally started spam-binning them.
Our office staff takes phone calls, emails, and website submissions from prospects -- they then have to let a salesman know that someone wants an inspection and estimate. The best and easiest way to do this is by creating an appointment for the salesman best suited for the job which will block off some of their schedule to connect with the prospect and set up an on-site meeting. This also sends an email to the salesman assigned to the new prospect [This is the part where MSFT spam filter tells me to GFY]. We don't send out emails to prospects until they give us their email directly.
If you would've actually read my comment, you would see that you didn't respond to anything I said but just made up your own idea of what I said then talked past me.
