	Each message sent to an ISP seed is one that will not be opened and will not have it's links clicked. Only the trigger seed has clickable links and potentially responding tracking pixels. E-Mail addresses that show no response may have a negative effect on your reputation on the long run. Since many ISPs rely on user-based engagement metrics, it has become impossible to definitely determine if a message has or hasn't hit the spam folder. When it hits the spamfolder in our pristine ISP seed addresses, that doesn't mean it also lands in the spamfolder for someone who has gathered and shared a lot of user-based engagement metrics with their ISP, or vice versa.

	For that reason, we recommend to start testing to the trigger seed only and do full seedlist test after all issues, reported by InboxSys, have been fixed, or in case spamfolder-issues are suspected. When the ISP seedlist detects an issue, it's already too late for preventive measures. Prevention can be achieved by sending to the trigger address only.

	Messages to the full seedlist should be sent as list - in single messages. Adding seeds to CC or BCC will distort the final analysis.
