mail tester alternative - better tools to check deliverability?
We've had mail-tester.com for about 6 months now to check our cold email deliverability before campaigns. It's free which is nice and the spam score breakdown is helpful, but honestly getting tired of the limitations. The 3 tests per day limit is brutal when you're testing multiple variations. And it only checks against SpamAssassin rules - doesn't give you inbox placement predictions for Gmail, Outlook, etc. Plus no domain warmup tracking or sender reputation monitoring. Tried GlockApps last week which has way more features (inbox placement tests, seed list testing, authentication checks) but $59/mo feels steep for our 2-person agency. EmailOnAcid is even pricier. My business partner keeps asking why we're spending money on tools when we could just "send and see what happens" which... no. Anyone using something in between? Need better deliverability testing than mail-tester offers but not trying to drop a hundred bucks monthly. Also been looking at Prospeo for the actual email verification side since bad data is half the reason our sender rep took a hit to begin with.
Cold email at scale: sanity-check my infrastructure approach (young domains, business vs consumer placement)
Running B2B cold outbound at a decent scale and want to pressure-test our approach against people who do this at volume. Curious where we're overthinking it and where we're missing something. Our current setup: \40 sending domains, Google Workspace inboxes, sending through a cold-email platform (Smartlead-style) 2 weeks warmup, then low volume (\15-30/inbox/day), ramping slowly Plain text, no links, verified-only lists (we drop catch-all and unverified before sending) We placement-test domains with GlockApps before putting them in rotation The thing that prompted this: our newer domains (\3 weeks old) show 100% on warmup but only \25% inbox on a cold placement test in aggregate. When we broke it down by provider, they land 100% in business inboxes (Office365 / Google Workspace) and get spam-foldered on consumer Gmail/Outlook. Since our targets are all B2B (work addresses), we're treating "lands in business inboxes" as the bar and ignoring the consumer numbers. Questions for people running this at scale: 1. Is placement-testing every domain before use standard practice, or overkill? How do you actually decide a domain is send-ready — warmup completion, placement test, real-send reply rate, something else? 2. Is "judge by business-inbox placement" the right call for B2B, or are we fooling ourselves by ignoring the aggregate/consumer spam rate? Does consumer-Gmail placement eventually matter even for B2B senders? 3. At \40 domains, how do you handle ongoing monitoring without it becoming a full-time job? Continuous placement tools, Postmaster, something lighter? 4. Shared Google IPs vs dedicated — at our per-inbox volume, shared seems correct (dedicated needs consistent high volume to stay warm). Is that right, or do serious operators move off shared at some point? 5. Anything obvious we're not doing that you'd consider table stakes at this scale? Not selling anything, genuinely trying to calibrate our process. Appreciate any war stories.

Spent 6 months blaming my outbound strategy. Turned out my DNS was broken.
so my first year doing outbound i basically just grabbed whatever tools were cheap and duct taped them together. separate warmup tool, separate sender, manually doing DNS every single time i spun up a new domain. felt like i was being scrappy about it but somewehre around month 6 my reply rates just fell off a cliff and i spent way too long assuming my copy, offer, l or targeting was the problem. took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out why. turned out i had SPF messed up on a few domains and had no idea. one domain got flagged entirely. DMARC was just sitting at p=none basically doing nothing this whole time. i was out here blaming my copy and my lists when the actual infrastructure was quietly broken underneath me. the tools themselves weren't even expensive but the pipeline i lost because of it was way more than that. kind of a gut punch tbh. if i was starting from scratch again i think i'd want something that just handles DNS provisioning correctly out of the gate so i'm not the one manually checking SPF/DKIM/DMARC everytime, a few mailboxes per domain instead of hammering one inbox, and an actual warmup period before i touch real volume. also tired of sending tools that nickel and dime you per seat everytime you add a mailbox. what's everyone actually running for this these days? feels like there's a new all in one" tool every month and i don't know which ones are real vs just repackaged versions of the same 3 things.
Hello! I'm new to DMARC, to the point that I think I know the point of it but haven't actually progressed beyond p=none. I have already a few months worth of reports, and from what I've been able to get from them, is that about 20% of our mails are failing DMARC, mostly because the receivers are forwarding them and they lose SPF and DKIM. Mostly because of google/outlook it seems. Is that normal, and something that I can ignore? Normal but something that I need to deal with before changing the policy? Or something unusual? Also, is there any good app to which I can just load the xml reports and they get me the analysis? I have seem the usual services recommendations but it seems you need to have the dmarc report mails sent to them. I used claude to analyze the reports, and it did a good job of creating a sensible report but I cannot judge how correct it actually is. Thanks!
Built a full lead-gen + 3-email drip campaign automation in n8n (trying to bypass instantly/clay)—sharing everything that I built. Need help in the deliverability fight that I'm still losing
The goal: automate cold outreach — source business leads, then run them through a proper 3-email sequence (Day 0 → Day 3 → Day 7 "breakup" email) instead of one-off blasts. Stack: Firecrawl for lead sourcing (pulling name + email straight from search-result snippets—way cheaper than full-page scraping) A separate n8n workflow hitting the Google Places API for additional local-business leads (shared a post regarding the same a few days ago) Google Sheets as the lightweight CRM / sequence-state tracker n8n + Gmail node for the actual sending and reply detection The pipeline (2 workflows): 1. Daily Sequence Sender—Schedule Trigger reads the sheet, computes who's due for Email 1/2/3 based on sequence step + days elapsed, sends via Gmail, updates the row 2. Reply & Stop Detection—Gmail Trigger polls the inbox, matches replies against the lead list, and halts the sequence for anyone who responds (or says STOP) Where I'm stuck right now: deliverability. Even after fixing formatting, removing the attribution footer, and toning down the subject lines and body texts, test sends are still landing in spam on a personal Gmail account. Anyone dealt with cold outreach from a personal (non-domain-verified) Gmail account successfully? Curious whether this is a "give up and get a proper sending domain + SPF/DKIM/DMARC" situation or if there's a realistic path through it.
15% reply rates with 60% PRR, yet its been months and i cant for the life of me figure out deliverabilty and why my domains burn within 2-3 weeks.
I run cold email for a B2B agency (targets are agencies/SaaS/automation shops — so mostly Google Workspace inboxes). I've burned two full batches of domains the exact same way and can't isolate the root cause. Would love a second set of eyes. (Disclosure, this is written by Claude; I had it write the post to collect all the data, tests, and progress I made with figuring out deliverability so I don't miss anything, i want to make a genuine service that helps businesses get more clients, but dealing with email deliverability is so disheartening, especially if you don't have a lot of capital, so i made this post detailing all ive tested and symptoms with the hopes of diagnosing the problem and have mailboxes survive atleast the first 2 weeks of sending) Setup Smartlead, Google Workspace mailboxes, domains + mailboxes from InboxKit, 5 mailboxes/domain De-clustered domain names (not obvious cousin variants). All redirect to my real company site → Calendly (temporary while i make a vsl and get more proof of work with clients) Copy: plain text, name-only signature, no links/images in email 1, spintax + AI icebreakers, tracking off, randomized sends, 3-min gaps Warmup: Batch 1 = fresh, 2 weeks Smartlead warmup. Batch 2 = pre-warmed 4 weeks. Warmup left on. Ramp 5→10/day, in 5 increments every week Lists: Sales Nav → AnyMailFinder → Bouncer-verified, Google inboxes only. Bounce rate 0.4–1.5% What happens (identical both batches) Domains land on SURBL (ABUSE) within week 1 (with the exception of 1 domain per batch, those domains always stay healthy while the others die) Everything looks fine for \2 weeks: 15% reply rate, 60% positive, warmup health 90–100% Then warmup health collapses almost in 1 day to 80% then goes down day by day. Inbox placement test to fresh seeds: SURBL-listed domains hit 0/10 inbox, 10/10 spam. Dead What I've tested / ruled out SPF/DKIM/DMARC all pass, mail-tester 9–10/10 Per-domain SURBL check maps 1:1 — listed domains = 100% spam/dead; the one un-listed domain in each batch survives Redirect target (my own domain) is clean on SURBL, so they're not inheriting the listing from it Bounce rates are low, so lists aren't full of dead addresses Same copy AND same lists went to the survivor too Warmup health score is worthless as a signal if below 98%, one domain read 96% warmup while landing 100% spam on real seeds When the first batch died, I tried getting 4-week warmed mailboxes instead of 2 yet it's the same story The part I can't explain — mirror-image audience split My aged brand domain (sent the exact same lists, same volume, never burned): inbox on Workspace, spam on consumer Gmail The fresh survivor: inbox on Google Workspace, spam on normal Gmail accounts (which isn't a big deal because all my lists consist of Google Workspace) My thoughts 1. Pristine spam traps in the "verified" lists (Bouncer/AnyMailFinder can't catch live traps; pattern-guessed emails are risky) — whichever domain's slice hits a trap gets SURBL-listed and dies first 2. Age/legitimacy is the real survival factor; fresh domains never earn Workspace trust through warmup alone Questions Why do fresh domains keep getting SURBL-AB listed within a week even off verified lists? I've read that being blacklisted by SURBL is only the symptom of deliverability, not the problem, so what could be the main issue causing it? why do all my domains die with the exception of 1 every time? if its spam traps that are causing this, what can you do to avoid them?
Reaching out to potential PIs for PhD, but my initial emails end up in spams!
Hi everyone, happy Sunday! I have decided that I want to pursue my PhD in Germany and I have shortlisted different professors from different universities which match my research interest. The main issue I’m facing is that my emails to potential PIs seem to end up in their spam folders. How do I know it ends up in the spam folder? In one case, a professor told me that my email had been filtered out by their university’s email system and placed in spam. In another case, a postdoc replied almost two months later after randomly checking her spam folder and finding my email there. It's very obvious that this is making the whole process quite frustrating, because some professors may simply never see my initial email. Few things I do: 1. I don't reach out to all the profs at once, I space out my emails and take my time with each one. 2. I don't attach any files to the first email. 3. I use my personal email address because I no longer have access to my uni email. 4. I ran my email through mail-tester.com and got a score of 9.2/10. The only issue it flagged was related to DKIM: FORGEDGMAILRCVD. 5. I do not use AI to write my emails to profs (I did use AI to frame this post for reddit to make it quick). I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should be doing to improve email deliverability, especially when emailing professors at German universities. Could the issue be related to using a personal Gmail account, the wording/content of my emails, or something specific about university email filters? If anyone has experience with this, particularly with contacting German professors for PhD positions, I’d really appreciate any advice. And please feel free to point out anything I might be doing wrong!
So apparently Google will SPAM your self-hosted email just cuz you, that's why.
DKIM, DMARC, SPF, rDNS/PTR, EHLO... all correct and verified in the email "original source," BY GOOGLE. Still goes to SPAM folder because \\\\ you, apparently. I hate Google.
Salesforce Email Relay bouncing due to rotating outbound IPs
Hi all, hoping to get some real-world input on an Email Relay / deliverability issue we've been chasing. The problem: Our org has Salesforce configured with an Email Domain Filter (catch-all, \/\) routing all outbound mail through an Email Relay pointed at our Google Workspace SMTP relay service. We've started getting persistent 550-5.7.1 "Invalid credentials for relay" bounces and the root cause is that Salesforce sends from a large, rotating pool of outbound IPs, and our relay's IP allowlist can't keep up. This affects everything from Opportunity Update Reminders to account-transfer notifications, not just bulk sends. Our Current setup: IP allowlist maintenance — works but requires constant upkeep as Salesforce's IPs rotate. Questions for the community: 1. For anyone who's actually deactivated their Email Domain Filter and let Salesforce send directly. How has deliverability held up long-term, especially to Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo? 2. Is there a real, common business reason to keep Email Relay active, can I run processes without it? (DLP scanning, compliance archiving, etc.) Anything that I should weigh before dropping it, beyond Bounce Management/Email Security Compliance features? 3. For those using a third-party SMTP relay (SMTP2GO, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, etc.) with Salesforce, any real experience with shared-IP-pool deliverability issues specifically for transactional CRM mail? 4. Anyone running the TLS-certificate-domain method (vs. IP allowlist) on an Exchange Online connector for Salesforce specifically and has Salesforce's certificate stayed consistent for you over time? Appreciate any first-hand experience, trying to land on something maintainable rather than another band-aid.
Setting up MailWizz for cold outreach—need some advice on a "pocket-friendly" stack
Hey everyone, I'm currently setting up \\MailWizz\\ for a new cold email campaign and I want to make sure I’m not missing anything critical before I go live. I’m trying to keep the setup relatively \\pocket-friendly\\, but I know that cutting too many corners usually leads to the spam folder. I'd love to hear from anyone who has a solid self-hosted workflow. Specifically, I’m looking for suggestions on: \ \\Hosting:\\ Where are you guys running MailWizz? I was thinking of a basic VPS like Vultr or DigitalOcean—is that enough, or is there a better budget-friendly pick? \ \\SMTPs:\\ Which providers are actually playing nice with cold outreach lately? \ \\Essential "Extras":\\ What else should I have in my stack for list cleaning or warm-up? \ \\The "Gotchas":\\ Any major pitfalls or settings I should double-check while the campaign is running to keep my deliverability from tanking? If you’ve been through the trial and error of setting this up recently, I’d really appreciate your insights! Cheers.
mailbox reputation solid for weeks till one overnight crash, what could cause this?
As the title says, for weeks I have been running a few mailboxes on a good-performing campaign, getting positive replies, booking calls, same list-building steps, bounce rates around 1.5-0.5%, and then out of nowhere, in a few hours today, all the mailboxes on the campaign tank in warm up reputation, not my by much (from 100% for weeks to 89% in a few hours). That might look like a good sign because of how small the drop is, but from my experience it's usually the beginning of the end for the fleet. What I want to find out is what could have caused this. Have you guys run into similar situations? I use InboxKit for domains and mailboxes with their InfraGuard (which coincidentally I bought today, which is the same day the mailboxes tanked, but idk how it would be responsible), Smartlead for sending, Sales Nav, and Bouncer for leads and email validation
Probably the worst inbox provider on the planet. We have a chain of about a hundred emails going back and forth with them on DNS provisions for a customer inbox setup. And I don't know if they're just they don't know what they're doing, but they keep giving us circles and not straight answers. And it took us about a month and a half, and we still don't have the DNS configured. So I highly recommend everybody avoid them.

Switched over to Cloudflare for the dns for the funnel domain. The DMARC record was set to reject and due to a misconfiguration, ALL emails were rejected/bounced. Does anyone know of a way to disable the DND and resend all bounced emails in bulk. I have over 7000 that i need to resend
I’m trying to get email sending working on an Oracle Cloud Free Tier instance. I checked the Email Delivery section, but honestly, I’m a bit confused about how to set everything up properly. Has anyone done this before and can share how you got it working? I’m mainly trying to get email sending working from my instance. Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction or share the steps. Thanks.
Help needed from someone with a Microsoft 365 mailbox
I'm troubleshooting a Microsoft-specific deliverability issue with my email addresses Emails are landing in Gmail inboxes (with 100% deliverability) But Microsoft 365/Outlook is consistently sending them to Junk even though SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all pass (it is 0% develiverability in M365/Outlook mailboxes) Microsoft Deliverability Support asked me for 3-4 recipient-side .eml samples from M365 mailboxes where the message landed in Junk. If you have a Microsoft 365 mailbox and can help: DM me an email address you're comfortable using I'll send one harmless business-style email If it lands in Junk, please download it as .eml and send it back to me I'll only use the file for my open Microsoft support case. Please DM me rather than posting your email publicly. Thanks!
My friend uses Gmail with a custom domain for work and mostly send regular 1:1 emails to clients. He had already taken care of the usual email setup steps and most of their emails are just proposals, follow ups, or normal client conversations. Still every now and then, the emails landed in the spam folder. Could it be the domain reputation issue or is Gmail just stricter with spam filtering lately?
New to cold email - can't figure out what we're doing wrong
My team just embarked on cold emailing. We did everything that was recommended, but seems we're getting inbox placement (as measured by Apollo) of 100% to spam in O365 and Outlook (better rates in Google, but not across the board). Wondering if the vets have any input on what could be wrong with our approach? Here's details/what is already on our radar (numbering so it's easy to refer to): 1. Currently have about 5 domains with 8-10 mailboxes each (\5 per SDR per domain) 2. Mix of O365 and Gmail inboxes, mostly O365 purchased from GoDaddy 3. Mailboxes are named in variations such that if SDR is "John Smith", it's - , , , , ... 4. Each mailbox was warmed up for 2-4 weeks using Apollo's progressive warmup feature 5. During and after warmup, daily limit is 30 per mailbox, hourly limit is 6 per mailbox 6. We dialed in SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, all the jazz 7. Have tracking subdomains set up (I don't really know what this does tbh since we aren't using tracking pixels) 8. Sequences are 4-5 emails long, spaced 3-4 days apart, sent through Apollo 9. First email of each sequence is personalized with a paragraph that's unique to that prospect (so not the same email body being sent to each prospect) 10. All email content is short, scientific, and has a low-commitment CTA 11. Clear unsubscribe option 12. No tracking pixels (we're not getting open data) 13. Sending to super targeted lists of about 300-500 per sequence ALL of our mailboxes are getting placed in spam in O365 and Outlook. Any ideas? We don't have access to much external IT help, and are managing this ourselves (mktg).
SMTP connection to client's GreenGeeks-hosted mail server suddenly stopped working – anyone else seen this?
Hey everyone, We run a SaaS tool called Aimly that connects to mailboxes via SMTP to send emails. One of our clients has their email hosted with GreenGeeks. The SMTP connection was working perfectly fine for a while, and then suddenly stopped working – we're getting timeouts / connection refused. Setup details: Our tool runs on a VPS Client's SMTP server: mail.clientdomain.com (or similar, hosted by GreenGeeks) Ports we've tried: 465 (SSL) and 587 (STARTTLS) – I've seen references that GreenGeeks typically uses port 465 for SSL The credentials work fine when tested from Thunderbird/Outlook What's weird: It was working before, with no changes on our side Other SMTP servers work fine from our VPS The client can send/receive email normally via webmail and desktop clients Our suspicion: GreenGeeks might have: 1. Blocked our VPS IP at the firewall level (they use ConfigServer Firewall / CSF) 2. Changed their SMTP authentication requirements 3. Implemented stricter outbound filtering (they use MailChannels outbound filtering) 4. Started blocking connections from IPs outside their network Questions for the community: 1. Has anyone else experienced a sudden SMTP connection failure with GreenGeeks? 2. Does GreenGeeks require whitelisting external IPs for SMTP access? 3. Any specific SMTP settings we should double-check (e.g., TLS version – I saw they previously had TLS 1.2 requirements)? 4. Could this be related to their outbound email filtering platform (MailChannels) blocking our IP? We're trying to figure out whether this is a GreenGeeks-side issue or something we need to change on our end. Any insights or similar experiences would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
SMTP connection to client's GreenGeeks-hosted mail server suddenly stopped working – anyone else seen this?
Running a small SaaS tool (Aimly) that sends emails via SMTP for clients. Got a client on GreenGeeks. Worked fine for months. Suddenly today, can't connect at all. Just times out on port 465 (SSL) and 587 (STARTTLS). Credentials are fine - they work in Outlook/Thunderbird. Our VPS IP hasn't changed. Other SMTP servers connect fine from this same VPS. So it's definitely something on GreenGeeks' end. I suspect they've blacklisted our IP in their CSF firewall or their MailChannels outbound filter suddenly flagged us for some reason. But we're not sending spam - low volume business emails. Before I waste hours on hold with their support, has anyone dealt with this recently? Do they require IP whitelisting for external SMTP connections? Or did they quietly change their TLS cipher requirements this week? Any quick fixes appreciated.
Been warming them up for 3 weeks and they have a 100% score, but they still get sent to junk when sending to outlook. do any of you guys have experience with this?
Im not talking about suspend problems and CPU limit but this problem touch my limit , I want to start affiliate I setup pmta than when i try to send bulk emails I get blocked hhhh I was looking why I contact support look what they tell me greed do this nicee service
A number of recipients have not been receiving email from me. I'm sending from the Web mail interface and the messages do show up in my Sent folder. I typically use my vanity email address which is hosted at Squarespace. As a test, I tried sending emails to my work email using my gmail.com address and my vanity address. Neither has arrived and its been a few hours. The last time this happened, it was squarespace's fault. But that was only when I sent using my vanity address. Any bounce messages might not happen for 48 hours. Any way to debug this before then?
DKIM and SPF Authentication PASS but the DKIM and SPF Alignment FAIL.
Hi everyone, I need your expertise and take on this. Identical Google Workspace IPv6 addresses sent on the same date (2a00:1450:4864:20::132 on August 6) one email shows: DKIM and SPF Authentication PASS and the DKIM and SPF Alignment PASS. But the other one shows: DKIM and SPF Authentication PASS but the DKIM and SPF Alignment FAIL. Both emails are showed delivered. My conclusion is that this is just a bad reporting. Is this parsing bugs or errors from Microsoft? But I would love to get your take on this matter.
How are you monitoring email deliverability problems before clients tell you?
Recently, a client forwarded me a screenshot of one of our email campaigns landing in promotions. Had another client complain of landing in spam. I checked the Google Postmaster Tools, sure enough, our spam rate had been climbing for the past 3 days. We would have caught them within a few days. But I just realized how reactive our deliverability monitoring had become. Four days. Four sends. And we had no idea until it came to our attention by chance. We had the data. Nothing was broken. We had Postmaster Tools, campaign reporting, bounce data, complaints, etc. But nobody was checking everything every morning. But we have to be real, a dozen other things are splitting our time. That got me wondering how other teams handle this. I'm interested in how agencies or teams managing multiple ecommerce brands handle this. Do you have someone actively monitoring sender reputation and spam rates every day? Or have you set up alerts when something starts moving in the wrong direction?
Is email warm up actually worth it or just marketing fluff?
Got hit with this again today after a client pinged me like “why are half your emails in my spam?” during a Zoom screen share. Super awkward. I’m running a few small cold outreach campaigns for SaaS stuff on a fresh-ish domain and it feels like Gmail has me on a watchlist. I’ve been reading all the usual deliverability stuff - SPF, DKIM, DMARC, low volume, good copy, yada yada - but I keep seeing people talk about these warm up tools that auto-open/reply/star your emails and do this slow domain repair over a few weeks. Some even claim they can pull you out of spam over time. Part of me thinks this is smart, part of me thinks mailbox providers will just catch on and nuke that signal. Maybe I’m overthinking this. Anyone here actually used these warm up / engagement tools for legit campaigns? Did they help long term or did things tank again once you stopped paying? And if you’ve fixed deliverability without them, what actually moved the needle for you?
Is email marketing even worth it anymore for Upwork freelancers?
I’m a freelance copywriter on Upwork and just spun up a new domain so I don’t have to send proposals and follow-ups from my personal Gmail. This all hit me last week after a client casually mentioned my last message landed in their spam folder and they “almost missed the deadline” because of it. Since then I’ve been obsessing over deliverability stuff. I’ve set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC, watched a bunch of YouTube, and keep seeing people talk about doing an email warmup on a new domain so inboxes “trust” you more. I saw a few tools that automate it while I was doomscrolling at like 1am, which sounded cool, but I might be looking at this the wrong way. For those of you who get a lot of clients via cold outreach or nurture sequences off Upwork: do you actually do warmup stuff, or is that overkill for solo freelancers? Any tools you’d recommend/avoid? Also, how are you testing if your Upwork-related emails are going to spam before sending a big batch of client follow-ups?
I'm going away from most of OVH services except, until now, domain registration and dns. Trying to replace DKIM with the newer DKIMPY-MILTER, I see as a RSA key choice Ed25519 in OVH manager. Unfortunately, this a dummy choice which is not accepted. After googling, this issue is old (more than four years) and OVH do nothing at all to solve that. Long time ago, OVH had a lot of technology preview features available and now they are not even able to follow the recent security improvements. Legacy DKIM is nearly twenty years old and does not provide enough security while the extra long keys cannot fit inside most of the registrars dns gui.
