I am working as a developer for a company that is going to begin sending high volume emails (Don't worry we'll follow all of the CAN'T SPAM laws).

I have heard that the registrar for you domains can affect the number successful deliveries you will achieve. What is known about this? Is the email address domain name registrar or something actually checked and filtered by the big Email services like Hotmail, AOL, etc?

Goidaddy is the worst option, one report of spam and you are out.

Maybe tucows can eb good for that, because they defend thepiratebay.org

Normally i suggest you reseller club but in spam dont know here behaivir.

So when Spam is reported they send it back to the registrar? I thought that spam filters would just block an IP address, or filter it out by the domain itself, but could the registrar I am using also have an effect?

When spam is reported to ICANN or the Registry, they will pass this complaint back to the Registrar for the domain. Of the registrars you selected, I'd suggest you use eNom. I have many domains there and you never hear a peep out of them. GoDaddy definitely the worst. They're always in the news about how quickly they suspend domains for many reasons, including reported spam. Spam lists and filters are completely another issue. There is no connection between them and reported spam.

When spam is reported to ICANN or the Registry.....

Thanks for the help! Now one more question, when does a domain get reported to ICANN as spam? Is that something one person can do or to really have an effect does a bigger email company like gmail need to report something? Can I report domains as spam?

I think it is multiple complaints before they do anything but could be wrong.

I think 1 complaint by 1 person is enough to trigger action by the registrar against the domain owner. Supposedly these are investigated by the registrar for authenticity of spam, but I don't really understand how they can do that.

When spam is reported to ICANN or the Registry, they will pass this complaint back to the Registrar for the domain.

Is ICANN really taking action against spammers? It seams contradictory to their policy or "scope".

>>> Taking from ICANN FAQ (http://www.icann.org/faq/#spam)
"Is ICANN the proper authority to report spam?"

"No. ICANN is a private, non-profit technical coordination body for the Internet's name and numbering systems. The content of an e-mail message, ftp file, or web page bear no inherent relation to the assigned domain name, and therefore fall outside of ICANN's policy-making scope."
So where do I go to report spam? Where do the registrars hear that a domain name is sending a lot of spam?



I also found interesting: RegisterFly Review ICANN.org (http://public.icann.org/issues/registerfly/review)

I don't have the ICANN link but if I were to report any spam it would be directly to the registrar, which is the closest link to the spammer. Less chance of getting lost.

So the process somebody would do is possibly who.is the domain name and then report it like you say to the registrar using a form like this: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/spamreport/spamreport.asp

That makes sense, thanks!
