Email from your own domain, without getting blocked

1. 01

   Add your sending domain

   2 minutes

   Type the domain you want to send from. We read its MX records to work out who already hosts your mail, so the settings are filled in rather than asked for.

   • Provider detected from your MX records — Google, Microsoft, Zoho, cPanel, Yandex and others
   • The right SMTP host and port suggested automatically
   • Several domains supported if you send as more than one brand
2. 02

   Fix authentication before you send anything

   15 minutes, plus DNS propagation

   SPF, DKIM and DMARC are checked live against your DNS. Where one is missing or wrong, you get the exact record to paste and a plain explanation of what it does.

   • The precise value to add, not a link to a generic guide
   • Re-checked on demand, so you know the moment DNS has propagated
   • DMARC started at monitoring so nothing of yours is rejected while you tune it
   • A domain that fails these checks is blocked from sending here — deliberately
3. 03

   Connect the mailbox you already pay for

   5 minutes

   Almost every hosting plan includes mailboxes. We use yours over SMTP, so there is no extra email service to buy. Zoho and Yandex have free tiers if your host does not.

   • App password or SMTP credentials, stored encrypted
   • A live connection test before you are allowed to save it
   • Reply-to and from-name set per campaign
4. 04

   Verify the list before it costs you anything

   minutes for a few thousand

   We ask each address’s own mail server whether the mailbox exists, then quarantine the ones that do not. This is the single step that decides whether the rest works.

   • Syntax, domain, MX and mailbox checks in that order — the cheap ones first
   • Role addresses (info@, sales@) and disposable domains flagged separately
   • Results kept against the contact, so you never pay to check the same address twice
   • Unverifiable addresses are held back rather than silently sent to
5. 05

   Warm the domain up

   two to four weeks

   A new domain starts at a few hundred a day and climbs as the engagement holds. The schedule is enforced here rather than suggested, because the failure mode is permanent.

   • Daily ceilings that rise on a schedule
   • Best-engaged contacts sent to first, which is what builds the reputation
   • The ramp pauses itself if bounces or complaints spike
6. 06

   Send, and watch the things that actually matter

   per campaign

   Opens and clicks are the fun numbers. Bounces, complaints and unsubscribes are the ones that decide whether next month’s campaign arrives at all.

   • Delivered, bounced, opened, clicked, complained and unsubscribed
   • Hard bounces removed from the list automatically
   • One-click unsubscribe, as Gmail and Yahoo now require, checked again at send time
   • Segments built from who clicked, ready for the follow-up

Mailbox providers judge you almost entirely on bounces. This is the part that decides whether anything arrives.
