Test your email: test newsletter spammyness with mail-tester

Fellow email marketing blog enthusiast Becs Rivett pointed out yesterday that the Wysija team have created mail-tester: it’s a tool to test the spammyness of your email content.

This result shows the authentication part expanded: things like SPF and DKIM are described in detail.
Be sure to check out their FAQ and SPF Guides: it gives quite some insight into how they work and how you should create an SPF record for your domain.
