[Talk to a deliverability expert](https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/lawrence-heslin/site) ## Email deliverability issues questions, answered What are the most common email deliverability issues? Most fall into five categories: emails landing in spam or Promotions instead of the primary inbox, a domain or IP blacklisted by a mailbox provider, falling open and click rates, a rising bounce rate from poor list hygiene, and broken SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records. They rarely happen alone — one usually triggers another. How do I know which deliverability issue I actually have? Split your reporting by mailbox provider instead of looking at one blended number. A sudden drop in open rate at one provider points to reputation or engagement; bounces citing a specific operator point to a blocklist; a delivered rate near 99% while opens collapse usually means you’re landing in spam, not bouncing at all. Can one deliverability issue cause another?? Yes — this is why guessing at a fix often backfires. A rising bounce rate feeds spam traps, which damages reputation, which pushes more mail to spam; a blacklist listing keeps suppressing delivery even after the underlying cause is fixed. A proper diagnosis checks all of them together. How long does it take to fix an email deliverability issue? Authentication fixes (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) can be resolved in 24 to 72 hours. Reputation-based issues — blacklisting, falling engagement, high complaint rates — typically take 2 to 6 weeks of clean, consistent sending to recover, and closer to 3 months to fully rebuild trust with Gmail specifically. Do I need to switch ESP (Email Service Provider) to fix a deliverability issue? No. Deliverability problems live in your authentication, reputation, and list hygiene — not in the platform. MailSoar works inside whatever stack you’re already on, and switching ESP without fixing the real cause usually just moves the same problem onto a new IP. ## Ready to fix your Deliverability?
