Do these actions cause email services to flag you as suspicious or spam? [closed]
I was wondering if either of these could cause email services to flag me as suspicious even though they are innocuous
Sending an email containing a double-encoded URL to my other email address. The email didn’t have html, I just pasted the URL in body text. The URL was given to me to click and I just wanted to see what it really was before I did, so I sent it to my other email to check it on the computer that it was logged in on.
Sending a manually written (non-automated) email to reach out to someone who might be interested to offer a service. In this case because they didn’t ask for my email, they might flag it as spam. It’s not an email marketing campaign, but just an individual case of reaching out.
In either case, does Gmail, or other email services have a background system where they rate you for how trustworthy you are, and have a score for that? Does 1 lower your score? And how often does 2 have to happen in order for you to be permanently marked as a spammer so that any email you send to anyone with anything in it is automatically put in the spam folder?
