3. Central Whitelisting for higher deliverability
- The central list of the CSA simplifies Whitelisting and ensures permanently high delivery rates. As a huge mailing list is a crucial spam criterion, people who are sending lots of emails to lots of people would have to negotiate with providers to not end up in their recipients’ spam folders.
- The CSA Whitelist shortens this procedure: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) accept the required quality standards, that have to be assured for a membership, and don’t grade emails from CSA members like CleverReach® as spam. Advantage: Delivery and high delivery rates!
- On the other hand, ISPs can also rely on this positive list, there’s a win-win situation for all parties involved. It also supports the service improvement of the providers, who protect their customers from unwanted emails.
