The Announcement

Meet Floopr

Built in Europe. Operated by mySMTP. Live today in early access.

Today we are opening the doors to Floopr, a new platform from the mySMTP team with one job: helping senders understand who is complaining, where reputation is changing, and why it matters.

Floopr monitors feedback loop (FBL) complaints, sending IPs and domains, blacklist listings and Google Postmaster signals in one place, so you can spot changes in your email deliverability and investigate the sources behind them. Instead of juggling provider portals, ARF emails and CSV exports, you get one normalized stream of events you can filter, attribute and act on.

The Problem

Six providers, six formats, no correlation

Complaint data exists. It just does not arrive in a usable shape.

Every mailbox provider reports differently, and blocklists report differently again. By the time you connect the dots by hand, throttling or foldering may already have started. Floopr's value is correlation and normalization, not another pile of raw reports.

Why Floopr

Combine complaints and blacklists

Feedback loop complaints and blacklist monitoring land in the same place, on the same assets, on the same timeline, instead of two tools that never talk to each other.

Normalize every source

Floopr maps everything into one consistent model of identity, provider, category and timestamp.

One reputation score planned

A normalized Floopr Reputation Score summarises complaint health, blacklist status and provider trends, with the contributing signals always visible behind it.

Know what to do next

Reports are grouped by IP, domain, provider and campaign, as far as the provider and your mail headers supply them, so you can see where to act.

The Dashboard

The Intelligence Chain

From a single complaint to the action that protects your sending

Feedback loops and blacklist monitoring are placed on one timeline so the sequence is visible.

01Live
Complaint signal

A recipient marks a message as spam. The provider's loop returns a per-complaint report tied to your sending identity.

02Live
Reputation deterioration

Complaint volume for that IP, domain or source moves above its own baseline.

03Live
Blacklist event

A listing on the same asset is placed on the same timeline as the complaint movement.

04Observed
Deliverability impact

Throttling, foldering, rejections: shown where observable, the rest labelled unverified.

05Action
Recommended action

Pause a stream, isolate a customer, review a campaign, request delisting. One prioritised step instead of five open tabs.

Attribution

Not "73 complaints": which IP, which customer, which campaign

A complaint count tells you something is wrong. Attribution tells you where to act.

Illustrative demo data. Counts are complaints out of 73.

An operational layer for ESP abuse teams
  • Isolate the sending customer creating reputation risk before it reaches your shared pools.
  • Hand your abuse desk evidence per account: complaint counts, timings, providers and listings on one record.
  • Feed suppression and throttling decisions from the same normalized event your dashboard shows.
  • Keep per-customer history so an account's pattern is visible, not just today's incident.

FBL Coverage

Exactly who your complaints come from, and who gives nothing back

Only providers that run a documented feedback loop produce per-complaint events. Every group is labelled so nothing looks like coverage it is not.

Share figures are public industry estimates of consumer mailbox mix and vary by audience, age group and B2B/B2C split. Treat them as planning guidance, not measurement. Provider support and access requirements differ: some loops require domain or IP verification, and source counts are indicative of programmes Floopr can ingest, not a guarantee of enrolment for every sender.

Data Layer

Complaint and reputation signals, deliberately not everything

Floopr's territory is complaint and sender reputation intelligence. The data layer can expand into adjacent sources, but it is not becoming a generic all-in-one deliverability toolbox. Everything is labelled by what exists today and what is planned or possible.

Core
Feedback loops

Per-complaint ARF reports from documented programmes, normalized into one event model.

Core
Blacklist monitoring

Listing status for monitored IPs and domains, correlated with complaint movement.

Core
Google Postmaster

Aggregate Gmail spam rates, authentication pass rates and delivery errors as an early-warning trend.

Planned
Microsoft SNDS / JMRP

Per-IP complaint copies plus Microsoft's own volume and reputation colouring.

Possible
DMARC aggregate reports

Alignment and unauthorised-use signals for the same sending identities.

Possible
SMTP / bounce telemetry

Rejection and deferral patterns from your own MTA.

Possible
DNS / SPF / DKIM / DMARC health

Configuration drift that can quietly degrade reputation.

Possible
More reputation feeds

Further provider and third-party sources as they become available to senders.

Case Story

A transactional sender at 100,000 emails a day

Illustrative scenario. "Northbound Pay", a fictional European payments platform, sends receipts, password resets and account alerts from a small set of dedicated IPs. When those messages stop reaching the inbox, support tickets follow within hours.

to baseline reputation

Day 0 · 09:12
Complaint rate crosses threshold

Floopr flags 0.41% complaints on 185.24.x.18, a single IP carrying the password-reset and receipt streams. Yahoo's loop and Validity's (carrying Comcast) account for 78% of the reports.

Day 0 · 09:40
Root cause isolated

Normalized events group by List-Id: one re-engagement campaign was accidentally routed through the transactional pool, mixing marketing volume into a trusted IP.

Day 0 · 11:05
Traffic re-segmented

The campaign moves back to the marketing pool and complainers are suppressed automatically through the Floopr webhook into the sending platform.

Day 6
Reputation recovered

Complaint rate back to 0.04%. Inbox placement on the transactional pool returns to pre-incident levels before any provider-side throttling took hold.

Why the metric matters

At 100,000 messages a day, a 0.4% complaint rate is roughly 400 explicit "this is spam" signals every 24 hours. Mailbox providers act on that ratio long before a sender notices revenue impact: first with folder placement, then with rate limiting.

  • One shared IP mixes marketing risk into transactional trust.
  • Without per-identity attribution, the fix is guesswork for days.
  • Suppression must reach the sending system automatically, not by CSV.

Fictional scenario with illustrative figures. Not a customer reference.

Separate your streams on dedicated IPs

Keeping transactional and marketing mail on their own IPs is the first line of defence. See mySMTP dedicated IP server options.

REST API

Filter by identity, provider, date range or campaign. Cursor paging for backfills.

Push
Webhooks

Recipient data is minimised: Floopr never asks you to send mail through it, and never returns more identifying data than an investigation needs.

Who it's for

ESPs

Monitor complaint signals across many sending customers and isolate risky accounts.

SaaS platforms

Floopr & mySMTP

How Floopr fits with mySMTP

Floopr is a service of mySMTP, built on the same European, deliverability-first mindset as our email delivery infrastructure and our free deliverability toolbox. Use the toolbox to get SPF, DKIM and DMARC right; use Floopr to see what recipients and blocklists say about your sending afterwards.

FAQ
What is Floopr?

An email feedback loop and blacklist monitoring platform from mySMTP that normalizes complaint reports and attributes them to sending IPs, domains and campaigns.

What is a feedback loop (FBL)?

A programme where a mailbox provider sends you a per-complaint report, usually in ARF format, each time a recipient marks your message as spam.

Does every mailbox provider offer FBL data?

No. Yahoo/AOL, Microsoft, Signal Spam and Validity run documented loops. Gmail publishes aggregate rates only, and several providers offer nothing to senders.

Does a complaint spike cause a blacklisting?

Floopr shows the sequence and timings of complaints and listings on the same asset, and does not claim causation unless it is proven.

Are the API and webhooks available today?

Yes. Create a scoped key in the dashboard and call the events endpoint; webhooks are HMAC-signed with delivery logs, replay and retries.

Is Floopr free to try?

Yes. The Free Test covers up to 300 monitored IPs or domains for 30 days, no card needed.

Does Floopr send email?

No. It is monitoring only.

See your complaint signals in one place

Floopr is opening early access to senders and deliverability teams who want a clearer view of feedback loop data.
