🚀 New course available: Email List Hygiene & Deliverability
Hi everyone, I’ve just added a new course: Email List Hygiene & Deliverability. This course is for anyone who wants to send better email campaigns, avoid common deliverability problems, and understand why “just sending to a big list” is often a bad idea. Inside, we cover practical topics like: ✅ Why clean email lists perform better ✅ How bad addresses hurt your sender reputation ✅ When and why to verify an email list ✅ How to reduce bounces and complaints ✅ Why engagement matters for deliverability ✅ Simple habits to keep your list healthy over time The goal is not to make things complicated. It is to help you understand the basics clearly so you can send campaigns with more confidence and fewer problems. If you use MaxBulk Mailer, eMail Verifier, or any email marketing tool, this course will help you build a cleaner, safer, and more professional sending workflow. 👉 You can find it now in the classroom/course section. Enjoy the course, and feel free to share your questions or comments here.

The Story Behind iCash
iCash did not start as iCash. The original idea goes back to the late 1980s, and the first real version was released at the end of 1991 under the name Peggy Première. It was written in Pascal, sold on 3.5-inch floppy disks, and originally created for Windows 3.1 and IBM OS/2. Years later, after I started Maxprog, I brought the idea back from scratch and released iCash 1.0 in 2003. So yes, iCash has a long history behind it: from floppy disks and shareware catalogs to Mac OS, Windows, multiple languages, and many years of updates. I wrote the full story here: 👉 https://www.maxprog.com/site/blog/post.php?id=889 It is also a good example of something I have always believed: The best software often starts with a real personal need.
📩 How do you avoid the spam folder?
One of the biggest challenges in email marketing is not only writing a good message, but making sure it actually reaches the inbox. There are many things that can affect deliverability: ✅ clean email lists ✅ verified addresses ✅ avoiding spammy words or aggressive formatting ✅ proper sender authentication ✅ reasonable sending volume ✅ good bounce handling ✅ people opening and engaging with your emails But every business, list, and sending setup is different. So I’d like to ask the community: 👉 What do you personally do to avoid the spam folder? 👉 Have you found any strategy that really improved your deliverability? 👉 Do you use any tools, checks, or habits before sending a campaign? Share your experience below. Your tips may help other members send better campaigns and get better results. 🚀

As far as I know, that problem was fixed and will be part of the next release.

Thank you, and I really like how you put it. 🙌 Yes, that is exactly one of the ideas behind this community: creating a more direct and meaningful way to communicate, share ideas, and discuss practical alternatives. Independence from cloud services, subscriptions, and platforms we don’t fully control is becoming increasingly important. I’m really looking forward to those discussions too. Great to have you here!
