What is Spam Complaint Rate?

Spam complaint rate is the percentage of recipients who mark your email as spam. Most email service providers (ESPs) allow a maximum of 0.1% (1 complaint per 1,000 emails). High complaint rates damage sender reputation and can get your domain blacklisted. Prevent complaints by setting clear expectations at signup, including a visible unsubscribe link, and sending relevant content.
