# spammy

I write 3-4 email newsletters every week, so deliverability is super important to me. To that end, I need to make sure my subject lines don't set off any ISP / spam filter alarms.

**Demo**

The [live demo](http://nealrs.github.io/spammy/) is _heavily_ inspired by [titlecapitalization.com](http://titlecapitalization.com). Try it out, share it with your friends. Reach more users.

**Library**

spammy accepts strings and will return `true` if it contains any words or phrases commonly associated with email spam. If it returns `false`, you're good.

I pulled the spam triggers from this [HubSpot blog post]( http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/30684/The-Ultimate-List-of-Email-SPAM-Trigger-Words.aspx).

**Usage**

```js

spammy("Hey, do you want to buy a luxury car $$$?"); // true

spammy("Great apartments - no fees"); // true

spammy("Check it out bruh"); // true because of 'check'

spammy("Can you take a look at this?"); // false

spammy("Win a million dollars"); // true

spammy("I love you"); // false

```

**Issues**

spammy isn't perfect. Words like 'check', 'now', 'only', etc _will_ trigger some false positives, even though they are quite common and may be appropriate for your campaign. But I think it's better to be conservative. Perhaps later on I'll revise this to highlight or return the specific spammy text.

**Contribution**

If you can think of any additional trigger phrases, please submit a PR. I'm sure these things evolve over time. Spammy is open sourced under the MIT licensed.
