How to Find Someone's Work Email Address (and Know It Is Real)
A practical way to find a person's work email from just their name and company website, and know it is confirmed rather than guessed.
Read articleYou can write a sharp, relevant cold email and still lose it to the spam folder because of a few words or formatting habits. The Free Cold Email Spam Checker shows you exactly what filters are likely to object to, before you send.
Check an email in under a minute
- Paste your subject line. Subject lines matter most: anything flagged there counts 1.5 times as much as in the body.
- Paste the body. Include your sign-off and any links exactly as you will send them.
- Click Check email. You get a score, the reasons behind it and your email marked up with every flagged word.
- Fix and re-check. Edit the flagged parts and run it again until the score is clean.
What the score means
0 to 19: clean
No strong spam signals in your wording, formatting or links.
20 to 49: risky
Some filters will let it through and some will not. Worth a rewrite.
50 to 100: likely spam
Expect the spam folder unless you change the marked parts.
Where the points come from
The checker looks for about 115 phrases in five groups, plus formatting and link problems. Each one adds points, and the total is capped at 100.
- Urgency pressure, such as "act now" or "limited time"
- Money and freebies, such as "100% free" or "lowest price"
- Overpromising, such as "guaranteed" or "risk-free"
- Pushy calls to action, such as "click here" or "buy now"
- Classic spam phrases, such as "this is not spam" or "dear friend"
- Formatting: words in capitals, repeated exclamation marks, shortened links and too many links
Your email stays private
The check runs entirely in your browser. Your subject line and body are never uploaded, saved or shared, so you can safely test real drafts, including names and company details.
What the score cannot tell you
A clean score covers your wording, formatting and links only. Mailbox providers also look at your sending domain's reputation, your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, your bounce rate and how often people mark your emails as spam. Send only to verified addresses, and a clean email has a much better chance of reaching the inbox.
A clean score only helps if the addresses are real, so verify your list with Domailfix - Email Finder & Verification first. For the wording itself, see our guide to spam trigger words in cold email.
Frequently asked questions
Is the spam checker really free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up or credit card, and has no limit on the number of emails you check.
What is a good spam score?
Under 20 is clean. Between 20 and 49 is risky. 50 or more is likely to land in spam and needs a rewrite.
Does a low score guarantee the inbox?
No. Domain reputation, authentication records and bounce rate matter too. Verifying your list with Domailfix keeps bounces down.
Is my email stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to Achivix.
