You will see your delivery rate improve once your sender domain address is verified.
The delivery rate of a campaign results from the total number of emails sent minus the bounce rate. Bounces are emails that could not be delivered (refer to: “What is a bounce?”).
Become familiar with this checklist for bettering your delivery rate.
Whitelisting aims to increase the quality and deliverability of emails sent by means of legal and technical standards. The quality standards result from applicable laws and the technical requirements of ISP’s (Internet Service Providers). The certification at CSA (Certified Senders Alliance) requires all to adhere to certain standards. ISP’s access CSA’s database. This ensures that emails sent via mailflatrate are better delivered and are not mistakenly marked as spam.
Via Domain Blacklist, you can block certain domains from sending emails. If you add example.com to a Domain Blacklist then all subscribers who are using them as their email provider will not receive the sent email.
You can add particular email addresses to a Blacklist, thus ensuring this email will no longer receive emails from you.
The Suppression List is a special type of recipient list. There is only one per user account, and it contains email addresses you don’t want to send to, in order to protect your reputation. Email addresses on the Suppression List cannot be accidentally imported or added to any other regular subscriber lists.
There are a few points to consider in regards to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For clarification purposes, the basic GDPR standardizes data protection laws within the EU, since different data protection laws and thus have different standards have applied in individual EU countries up until recently. From now on, online entrepreneurs can rely on the fact that a (predominantly) uniform data protection law applies within the EU.
GDPR’s second goal is to make data protection rights easier for the end user. Users should have full control over their own data. Fundamentally, this requires you to have certain permissions before you are able to mail to your subscribers. As a business, it your responsibility to inform the user whose data and information you are processing and about your intent and usage. You should always choose clear and easy-to-understand language.

With most domain operators, it is easily possible to enter our relatively long TXT entry or a 2048-bit key. However, there are still a few providers that only allow a shorter (up to 255 characters) TXT entry or a 1024-bit key.
Technically, it would be possible for us to switch to a 1024-bit key. However, a 1024-bit key reduces the overall security and we do not wish to decrease any levels of security (keeping our customers as secure as possible). For this reason, we ask for your understanding.
We recommend (if this is important to you) that you register a new domain with another domain provider for your newsletter mailing.
