Market with Safelists: do not use spam guards

When marketing with safe lists, you need two marketing email addresses - one for your list email and a second for your contact email. Never use your actual personal email, private or business support email as your contact address for safe lists. Also, never put an email blocker or so called spam guard on your contact email either.

The quickest way to have your account deleted at a list and your ip and email banned is by using spam guards or auto responders.

You joined a safe list. When you did, you expect to send your emails to the members. Everyone else joined with the same expectations. Some lists offer paid upgraded memberships in which you pay for the privilege of sending YOUR email ads to the members without receiving any in return. As the majority of people use safe lists as free members, they are expected to receive emails from members in return for use of the list. This is what makes it all work.

Safelist owners and admins do use your contact email to ‘contact you’, yes. They also use contact email addresses for solo ads and to send their own commercial email. There are many reasons for this starting with:

1. Safelists are not free. You, as a member, may have a free membership, but the list itself is not free. It costs the owner/admin money every month to run and host it. Depending on the circumstance, the owner may have purchased the script initially (which does not come cheap) and must find ways to recoup that investment. Whether they purchased that script or not, they still have the monthly hosting fees and cost of advertising.

2. Safelists are a business. Most people start them in order to make money. Free memberships build the list but do not help pay the bills or make the owner any money.

So, in order for the owner/admin to make the business flourish and hopefully realize a profit somewhere in all this, they sell upgraded memberships, banner ads and solo ads. They also market and promote their businesses or affiliate links and links to other goods/services and products. And they do this via the contact email.

Spam guards and protectors and very useful tools and need to be imployed - but under the correct circumstances and on your correct email accounts. Use them for your personal accounts for sure. It is inappropriate to use them on either your contact or list email accounts you provide to the safe lists.
