<b>Best of the inbox: the traps you can't see</b>
One pristine spam trap can crater a domain. Affiliate lists hit them more than most. The resources that explain the kinds and how to avoid each.

🪤 Traps
— Spamhaus's spam-trap explainer — the authoritative breakdown of pristine vs recycled vs typo traps. Made the cut because most senders only know one type exists.
— Validity / Kickbox 'why you can't just validate your way out' piece — verification catches typos, not recycled traps from old engagement.
— A blocklist-removal walkthrough (Spamhaus, Barracuda) — what to actually do the day you land on one.

🧹 Hygiene
— An import-list quarantine method — never blast a new list cold; drip and watch bounces first.

Saved you ~2 hours of panic-Googling 'why am I on Spamhaus.' Avoidance is cheaper than delisting — quarantine every imported list.
