What are best practices for continuous monitoring?

Effective continuous monitoring practices:

Regular testing: Seed tests weekly or with each major send. Catch problems before they compound.

Postmaster reviews: Check Gmail Postmaster and Microsoft SNDS at least weekly. More often during active campaigns.

Engagement tracking: Monitor open and click rates by provider. Sudden drops can indicate placement issues.

Alert thresholds: Set alerts for spam rate spikes, reputation drops, or bounce increases.

Trend analysis: Track metrics over time, not just snapshots. Gradual declines are as important as sudden drops.

Continuous watch keeps you safe. Problems caught early are problems easily solved.
