CSA Certification – Higher Communication Standards at Vercom S.A.

We are pleased to announce that MessageFlow, a product from the Vercom S.A. group, has received the prestigious CSA (Certified Senders Alliance) Certification. This recognition not only underscores the highest quality of our services but also brings numerous benefits to EmailLabs customers. In the latest version of our panel, designed for efficient omnichannel communication, we have introduced the option to connect certified IP addresses.

This certification guarantees excellent deliverability for transactional and marketing messages while ensuring full compliance with the highest email marketing industry standards, opening new opportunities for companies using our solutions.

In this article, we will explain CSA, what the certification means for our platform, and the benefits it brings to businesses utilizing top-tier communication solutions.

What Is CSA Certification and Why Does It Matter?

The Certified Senders Alliance (CSA) initiative was launched in 2004 by the eco Association of the Internet Industry and The German Dialogmarketing Association (Deutscher Dialog Marketing Verband DDV).

CSA’s primary goal is to improve the quality and trustworthiness of commercial emails. It acts as a neutral intermediary between mailbox providers and senders, establishing rigorous technical, legal, and reputational standards to ensure reliable email practices.

A “Glocal” Approach – How CSA Certification Supports Global and Local Operations

Europe, particularly the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), requires senders to understand diverse legal regulations and market practices. With CSA certification, our solutions ensure compliance with local requirements while maintaining the highest global standards.

“The certification confirms our compliance with the best email sending practices. Whitelisting via CSA will allow us to offer an even higher level of services, while access to advanced analytics will prove instrumental in meeting the requirements of both local and global email providers.”

Katarzyna Garbaciak, COO EmailLabs

This approach supports businesses of all sizes and locations.

Key Benefits of CSA Certification

Improved Email Deliverability

Emails sent via certified IPs bypass spam filters with CSA partners like Talos (Cisco), GMX, WEB.DE, Yahoo, and others. As a result:

• Emails are delivered directly to the inbox, which is critical for the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and transactional messages.
• The risk of emails being marked as spam is reduced, improving communication efficiency.
• Open rates and engagement levels in email campaigns increase significantly.

Legal Compliance

CSA certification ensures compliance with the highest legal standards in email marketing. Key advantages include:

• Full compliance with European regulations such as GDPR, protecting senders from potential sanctions and fines.
• Greater transparency in marketing processes, helping build customer trust in the brand.
• Certification is a testament to following best practices, such as obtaining proper consents (opt-in) and avoiding outdated mailing lists.

Effective Tools for Monitoring and Protecting Sender Reputation

CSA certification provides advanced analytical tools to monitor and maintain a high sender reputation. Key functionalities include:

• Daily spam trap hit reports: Quickly identify and remove spam trap addresses from your database.
• DKIM error monitoring: Continuously verify the correctness of email authentication configurations.
• User complaint reporting (spam complaints): Systematic analysis of data helps senders adjust their actions to minimize complaints.
• Proactive problem management: Regular reporting allows quick reactions to irregularities, further safeguarding sender reputation.

5 Ways to Check Sending Reputation

Priority Messaging

Certified CSA IP addresses are treated by mailbox providers as trusted and reliable. As a result:

• Messages sent from these addresses bypass greylisting mechanisms, avoiding delays in email delivery.
• There is no need for lengthy “warming up” of new IP addresses, enabling immediate high-scale sending.
• High-priority delivery is ensured, particularly important for critical messages like transaction confirmations or urgent notifications.

CSA certification not only improves email deliverability but also supports the growth of professional email marketing efforts, enhancing recipient trust and campaign effectiveness.
