How do you detect provider-specific problems (e.g., Gmail vs Outlook)?
Provider-specific problem detection:
Segment your data:
Break down metrics by email domain
Compare Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, others
Look for divergent patterns
Indicators of provider-specific issue:
One provider's metrics decline while others stable
Bounce patterns specific to one provider
Postmaster tools show problem at one provider
Testing:
Send to seed accounts at each provider
Compare placement results
Test from same content/timing
Root cause by provider:
Gmail issues often engagement-related
Microsoft issues often IP-reputation-related
Yahoo issues often complaint-related
Provider-specific problems need provider-specific solutions.
Different ports have different rules. Problems at one harbor may not affect others.
