“This is not the definitive or an entire list of words that activate spam filters. It does give you a general idea of what to avoid in your email marketing. Obviously, anything salacious or that has sexual or pornographic words will get you blocked and could get you in trouble with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). In addition don’t use $ ! * or any symbols, particularly in the subject line.
