How do I run an email spam test?

GlockApps supports the following testing modes: 1) manual tests, 2) smart tests, and 3) automatic tests.

Manaul Tests via Seed List

Email testing via the seed list involves sending your email message to the seed list (list of our test email addresses set up at different mailbox providers) via your SMTP server or email service provider and getting the report where your message is delivered (Inbox or spam) at each ISP.

Login to your account, go to Inbox Insight and click “Start Spam Test”.

Click “Start Manual Test” and follow quick steps. You will be given the unique id string and the seed list. Insert the id in the message content and send the message to the seed list.

Smart Tests via Single Proxy Email Address

To use smart tests, you need to connect your mailbox with GlockApps, generate a proxy email address, and send the message to the proxy address. GlockApps will do the rest for you: create a test and re-send the message to the seed list via your email account.

Automatic Tests

An automatic test will run on a regular basis at the chosen interval without you needing to manually force the test. The automatic test works for the same message. It is possible to make changes to the test settings without deleting it and creating a new one. After the automatic test is complete, you can receive alerts if the chosen criteria is met. For instance, you can receive an alert if your Inbox rate at Gmail is lower than 70%.
