[1/*] So, it has happened again. We tried to send out news of our Kickstarter (via SparkPost SMTP) to our 8000+ member mailing list, and GMail/Outlook helpfully sent like 50% of it to spam, according to our customers. What should we do?

[2/*] This kind of thing infuriates me, because these are people who went through the trouble of signing up for our mailing list, and we send out an e-mail only once every few months. It used to work just fine a few years ago. Now, it all goes to spam for no obvious reason.

[3/*] We'd really like to get this stuff sorted out. It's insane that this is still an infrastructure problem in 2021. Suggestions welcome.

Are you using a dedicated IP pool with your email provider? A shared one might cause poor reputation from peers to affect you

That's a good question. I assumed SparkPost would tell us about that but I don't know? I will look into it. There are no "to-dos" on our configuration page, but it may be elsewhere.

Dedicated IP pools are usually more $$, so it might be only available at a higher plan/tier

This is my main idea as well. The server you are on has a bad reputation already

I looked into this and yes, it was an upgrade thing. So I got one. I am not clear on how they magically find an IP all of a sudden that doesn't _already_ have a reputation, of course...

But I also contacted support and I am going to ask for more guidance here. We'll give it another shot over the next few weeks, because we were planning on sending at least one more mail anyway.
