Are ESPs responsible for spam foldering?

Myth: False. ESPs are not responsible for spam foldering. Receiving providers make placement decisions based on your sending behavior, not ESP infrastructure.

ESPs provide infrastructure and tools. How you use them determines reputation and placement. Spam foldering reflects sender practices, not ESP fault.

Take responsibility for your deliverability. ESPs support good sending but cannot prevent consequences of poor practices.
