392 Email Spam Trigger Words To Avoid In 2024

Updated October 2024

Spam trigger words are words that if included in your cold emails, will cause them to go to spam.

Email service providers, such as Gmail and Outlook, do not want to show their users spammy or promotional emails. They automatically scan every email for certain words that are red flags.

In this article, I will share the 392 most common spam trigger words to avoid using in your cold email campaigns.

Pro tip: I recommend that you send your cold emails with Emailchaser, as it automatically prevents you from sending emails that contain any of the spam words mentioned in this article. Emailchaser notifies you and asks you to remove the spam word(s) from your email before allowing you to send.
