How to reduce number of deferred emails SMTP SendGrid

I am using sendgrid to send out emails. My Django code for sending emails looks something like this

        client_message = EmailMessage(
            'Subject',
            'Message Content',
            'Name <[email protected]>',
            [client_email],
            ['[email protected]], 
        )
        client_message.content_subtype = "html"
        client_message.attach('MyFile.pdf', file, 'application/pdf')
        client_message.send(fail_silently=False)

I have the content_subtype as HTML so that I can do page breaks between paragraphs.

I am sending out 2 emails at a time and am sending a very low volume, < 100 / day. I just began sending emails. My emails are landing in Gmail spam inbox and not getting delivered at all into Yahoo / Comcast. I have already whitelisted my own domain's DNS using SendGrid.

What is best policy for my email content so get them delivered? I have heard

  1. Removing all hyperlinks in my message
  2. Putting a physical mailing address in the footer of the email
  3. Putting the words "reply STOP to unsubscribe" in the email footer
  4. Changing the content type of my email from HTML

It's important that I attach the files when sending the email. What else can I do to make sure my emails go through?

I had just verified my domain a few hours before sending the ultimately deferred emails. I believe the answer is that my domain verification was still being processed, and my emails landed in the the recipients inbox 2 days later. For future people having this problem, if possible see if the problem fixes itself after a few days.

Litmus.com is also a fantastic resource to check your content and security settings.
