Mail-Tester

Simple send-to-test-address spam score checks.

overview

Mail-Tester gives senders a generated address, analyzes the received message, and returns a spam score with authentication and content diagnostics. It is not a full monitoring suite, but it is one of the simplest ways to catch obvious DNS, SpamAssassin, and content issues before a campaign sends.

for growth and lifecycle teams

Growth work lives or dies on targeting and measurement. What matters is whether behavioral triggers can be built without engineering time, whether the event stream supports attribution past the open, and whether deliverability holds when broadcast volume shares a reputation with product email.

Against behavior-triggered journeys, broadcasts, and winback campaigns measured on revenue, Mail-Tester covers none of the capabilities this audience leans on (scheduling, event stream, the suppressions API, and multi-tenant support), so it fits only where those needs are genuinely absent.
