How Logistic Regression Shapes Outlook/Hotmail’s Spam Decisions

Outlook and Hotmail’s spam filter uses a blend of machine learning models, and one of the most important is Logistic Regression. This model evaluates a wide range of features from your email—like sender history, content traits, and engagement metrics—to calculate a spam probability score.

Logistic Regression works by weighing each signal, such as:

Frequency of certain words or phrases
Sender IP reputation
Header consistency
User interaction patterns

Then it combines these into a single “spam likelihood” score. If this score passes a certain threshold, your email ends up in the junk folder.

Why This Matters for Your Emails

Because Logistic Regression depends on many small signals, even minor missteps add up. A slightly suspicious header here, a drop in engagement there, or an unusual sending pattern can tip the scales.

How Lemon Email Optimizes Your Logistic Regression Score

Lemon Email is built to optimize all the signals Logistic Regression models weigh:

We maintain stable, warmed IPs with proven positive sender history.
Headers are crafted cleanly and consistently to avoid confusing the filter.
Our AI manages sending cadence and volume to avoid triggering pattern detection.
We actively monitor user engagement feedback and adjust delivery strategies dynamically.

By controlling these factors, Lemón helps keep your spam score low and your emails in the Outlook inbox, not the junk folder.
