What is the hardest aspect about evaluating email service providers ?

Recently, I had the opportunity to answer this question : What is the hardest aspect about evaluating email delivery platforms ? This was my -quite tough- answer and checklist for each potential ESP.

  1. Please state your actions last month in order to guarantee delivrability in UK ? US ? Germany ? Spain ? Italy ? France ? China ? India ?
  2. How do you handle the relationship with top-5 major ISP in each of these countries ?
  3. What kind of actions do you perform on a regular basis in order to improve relationship, and prevent automatic ” displayed-as-a-spam ” effect, with major webmail providers like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or Open-Source ones (eg Roundcube, IMP Horde) ?
  4. What could possibly rate a customer as a spammer emailer ? What is your policy with ” bad behaviour ” clients ? In relationship with all other ” shared ” clients ? (email-sending cluster shared between clients)
  5. Do you perform actions on a regular basis, in order to evangelize about delivrability matters, with your clients ? If so, how many times each year a quite large sender is contacted by your team to train him about best practices ?
  6. And one of the most crucial question, what kind of feedback loops are in place with ISPs on a local basis, including a team speaking fluently their native language ?

Please comment, RT, link, I’d be glad to share !
