“Senders tend to assume that all of their messages go to spam or they have a crazy huge issue. It definitely could be the case, but a lot of times, spam filtering happens on such an individual basis that it’s not like you have a huge issue. It’s just that one subscriber had some sort of spam filter or setting that decided your message to go to the spam folder.” ~ @alyssa_dulin
