Link tracker activated = Spam Check Issue

1

Hello,

Since few days the Spam Check detect one issue.
I found why after several tests.
If I active more than one Link Tracking the spam check detects this issue:

1.3 Pts
A URI hostname has long a (6 characters or more) hexadecimal sequence. This looks suspicious.

Indeed, if the Link Tracker is activated all links are modified in order to track user interactions.

Eg: https://xxxxxxxxxxx.lt.acemlna.com/Prod/link-tracker?notrack=1&redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fxxxxxxxxx.fr%2Fxxxxxxxxxxx%2F&a=66400702&account=xxxxxxxxxxx%2Eactivehosted%2Ecom&email=Qkag5kW%2BH672osmo0lucfAA3SuMkJhmkGexv49sZvNU%3D&s=adbd03610496ed2f209d17c8f2d95669&i=40A42A2A400

That’s weird because I always used the link tracking for all links in my emails. (social, call to action, link to my website)

If I test my email with mail-tester.com, I got score of 7.3 points, before I got a score of 9.3 pts…

Hey Benoit! Sorry we missed this when it was originally published, but in the spirit of providing insight on this question, I’ll be happy to take a look!
When it comes to spam check errors, it is very important to highlight that it mainly works as a suggestion for your email. The punctuation is also a factor to take a look at, anything above 5 could possibly become a deliverability issue, meaning that everything under shouldn’t be something to worry about.
Now, this specific error you got happens when there are links with long number sequences, like some abnormally formatted phone numbers. This can also happen if your account name has a long string of numbers, like 185710312.activehosted.com. Our team can help you if this is the case. To learn more about spam check, click HERE.
