About Postmark Spam Check

Postmark Spam Check tells you how SpamAssassin would score an email. Paste in a message with its full headers on the web page and it returns the score, which helps explain why mail might be landing in spam folders.

The same check is available as a lightweight JSON API, so developers can add spam scoring for incoming or outgoing mail to an app without running SpamAssassin themselves. Postmark, the transactional email service, provides it for free.

Strengths

  • Quick SpamAssassin score without running SpamAssassin
  • Usable in the browser or through a JSON API
  • Free to use

Limitations

  • Only gives a SpamAssassin score, not a full deliverability test
  • Messages are sent to a third-party service for checking
