Spam Report

Is there a way to know how many of our emails are being marked as spam?

I don't think you can tell how many times your email actually gets marked as spam by your recipients like you can see with bouncebacks, but you can put your message through spam validation tools.

LitmusApp.com puts your email through 23 spam filters and shows you how it scored.

CampaignMonitor.com also does something like this, but with fewer filters .

I'm sure there are other places to do a similar thing.

EDIT: I just clicked a more like this link on the sidebar to this post and found this (http://community.customer.convio.com/message/3950#3950) from Corey.

"With specific email providers there is a feedback loop that enables  Convio to receive updates when constituents mark your messages as SPAM.   This is in place to prevent people who continue to mark your messages  as spam (rather than unsubscribing) from continuing to damage your mail  reputation."

I wonder if there IS a way to for us to get at that after all, the Convio system evidentially knows about some instances.

EDIT: Just discovered http://www.emailonacid.com/ which looks similar to LitmusApp, but is a bit cheaper. I haven't tried it yet though.
