Question 1

Which Email Service Provider should I use as Email Mailbox for cold email

Accepted Answer

title: Which Email Service Provider should I use as Email Mailbox for cold email

description: Choose the right email provider for your cold email needs.

Overview

Choosing the right Email Service Provider (ESP) is one of the most important decisions for cold email success. The wrong provider can get your mailbox banned, send your emails straight to spam, or block you entirely before you even start.

We strongly recommend using Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 Outlook only.

Why Google Workspace and Outlook?

These two providers are built for business communication and offer the best deliverability, sender reputation, and infrastructure for cold emailing. They handle volume better, have robust spam-filtering intelligence, and are trusted by email providers worldwide.

Using other email service providers puts you at significant risk of getting banned or blacklisted, and you must know exactly what you're doing before using them.

Providers to Avoid (and Why)

Zoho Mail

Zoho will usually either deliver your emails straight to spam or simply block your mailbox as soon as you send more than 20–30 emails per day — especially if your reply rate is less than roughly 20%. This makes it unreliable for any serious cold email campaign.

Hostinger

Hostinger will not let you send cold emails at all. It detects email warm-up activity from SalesBlink (or a

title: Domain Technical Setup description: >- Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to authenticate your domain and improve

inbox placement.

Overview

Configure SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records to improve email deliverability and inbox placement.

Prerequisites

Custom domain (not free email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
Access to your domain's DNS settings
Active email service provider (ESP) account Note: Skip this setup if you're using a free email address (e.g., @gmail.com, @yahoo.com).

Add SPF Record

SPF verifies which servers can send email on behalf of your domain.

Identify your ESP from the table below.
Copy the corresponding Value.
Create a TXT record in your DNS with that value.

| Email Service Provider | SPF Value | |----------|----------| | Google Workspace | v=spf1 include:spf.google.com ~all | | Microsoft 365 | v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com ~all | | Zoho Mail | v=spf1 include:zoho.com ~all | | SendGrid | v=spf1 include:sendgrid.net ~all | | GoDaddy | v=spf1 include:secureserver.net ~all | | Amazon SES | v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all | | Yahoo Mail | v=spf1 include:spf.mail.yahoo.com ~all | | Yandex Mail | v=spf1 include:_spf.yandex.net ~all |

Tip: If you use multiple services, combine them: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net ~all

Question 3

How Do I Rotate Email Addresses Senders

Accepted Answer

title: How Do I Rotate Email Addresses Senders description: >- Distribute emails across multiple senders to improve deliverability and

volume.

Overview

Rotating your email senders can significantly improve your outreach performance.

Benefits of Rotating Email Senders

Improves deliverability - Emails are distributed across multiple senders, reducing the load on a single account.
Send higher volume of emails - Since emails are split between multiple senders, you can safely scale your outreach.

How It Works

When you use multiple email senders, your emails are automatically distributed among them. Each sender handles a portion of your total email volume.

How to Rotate Email Senders

Sender rotation is a simple but powerful way to improve inbox placement, reduce risk of spam flags, and scale your campaigns efficiently.

Question 6

Why Are My Emails Going To Spam

Accepted Answer
