Editing Spam traps (section)

== Step-by-Step Instructions ==
To avoid spam traps efficiently, follow these recommended steps:

1. **Implement Double Opt-In**: Utilize '''double opt-in''' methods for subscription forms. This two-step verification process ensures that only valid contacts are added to your list.

2. **Add Captcha to Subscription Forms**: Integrate '''Captcha''' to prevent automated bots from submitting spam trap email addresses during sign-ups.

3. **Regularly Clean Your List**: Periodically remove unengaged contacts, which can help mitigate the risks posed by spam traps. You can utilize ActiveCampaign's engagement tagging automations to assist in this cleaning process.

4. **Avoid Purchasing Lists**: Refrain from obtaining email lists through purchasing, scraping, or trading, as these practices lead to unverified addresses including spam traps.

5. **Monitor Engagement**: Keep track of the engagement of your subscribers. Contacts who don’t open your emails for an extended period should be removed from your list to maintain a healthy sender score.
