CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

The folks who help me administer my CiviCRM site are nervous about sending out too many emails using CiviMail, they fear that my site will get blacklisted as a spammer (even though I have all the "opt out" links and all that good stuff in the emails I send).

I don't know what triggers sites to get blacklisted, do you think this is a reasonable concern?  Or does having the required footer on every email (including contact information and the opt-out link) protect our site (mostly) from being blacklisted?

And if the answer is yes, I should be nervous, is SendGrid a reasonable third-party service to use?  I don't have any reason to prefer one over the other, but I would like one that integrates well with CiviCRM ...

Or, can I just keep using CiviMail for now (we don't plan on sending _that_ many emails!) and worry about this if we do get blacklisted at some point?

Thanks,
Chris
