Why new domains fail

Why cold domains get blocked.

No sending history = no trust

ESPs have never seen mail from your domain. Without a track record, every message is suspicious and gets throttled by default.

Sudden volume spike = spam flag

Going from zero to thousands overnight is the biggest red flag for spam filters. ESPs interpret volume spikes as bot behavior.

No engagement = reputation tank

If early emails get ignored or marked as spam, your reputation drops before it ever had a chance. First days define your trajectory.


Week by week

From 5 emails a day to 150. Here is the ramp.

01

Week 1: Foundation

5-15/day sent3-10/day replied

Low volume, high reply rate. ESPs begin registering your domain as a real sender.

02

Week 2: Building momentum

15-40/day sent10-25/day replied

Volume doubles gradually. Reply threads deepen. Gmail starts moving you out of Promotions.

03

Week 3: Earning trust

40-80/day sent25-50/day replied

ESP algorithms begin treating your domain as established. Inbox placement improves noticeably.

04

Week 4: Inbox ready

80-150/day sent50-90/day replied

Sender reputation is solid. You can begin real campaigns at moderate volume.

Set it up once

Connect. We handle the rest. You watch the score climb.

01

Connect your inbox

Link Gmail, Outlook, or any SMTP provider via OAuth. Takes 30 seconds. We never see or store your password.

02

We send and reply

Our network of real mailboxes exchanges genuine-looking conversations with your account. Volume ramps gradually.

03

Reputation climbs

ESPs see real engagement — opens, replies, threads. Your sender score improves day by day until you are inbox-ready.


Not all inboxes are equal

Gmail cares about engagement. Outlook cares about complaints. Yahoo wants registration.


01

Gmail

Weighs engagement heavily. New senders start in Promotions and must earn Primary through consistent opens, replies, and stars.

02

Outlook

Relies on SmartScreen and reputation databases. Penalizes high complaint rates aggressively. Clean history gets priority placement.


03

Yahoo

Proprietary reputation tied to complaint feedback loops. Senders without Yahoo CFL registration get throttled. Consistency matters.

04

Apple Mail

Privacy-focused — Mail Privacy Protection hides opens. Relies on server-side filtering and domain authentication over engagement.



Mistakes that reset your progress

Four things that will undo weeks of warmup overnight.

Sending real campaigns during warmup

Mixing promotional emails with warmup traffic confuses ESP algorithms. Keep warmup isolated until reputation stabilizes above 80.

Skipping authentication setup

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC must be configured before warmup begins. Without them, even perfect warmup behavior gets flagged.

Warming up a blacklisted domain

Warmup will not fix an existing blacklist. Delist first, then warm up. Sending from a blacklisted domain burns reputation further.

Stopping warmup too early

ESPs need 30 days of consistent positive signals. Cutting short means your reputation resets the moment you increase volume.
