Identifying a spam attack early can mitigate its impact. Here are some signs to look out for:
- Sudden Spike in Complaints: If you notice a sudden increase in spam complaints, it could be indicative of a spam attack. - Email Metrics: Pay attention to metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and bounce rates. A significant drop in open rates and a rise in bounce rates can be red flags. - Feedback Loops: ISPs provide feedback loops that notify you when users mark your emails as spam. Monitoring these can help you identify issues early.
