What do we want?

reduce email bounce rate

Well it's pretty obvious, in short, we want a system for bulk emailing with:

  • IP rotation
    So emails you sent will rotate between available IPs. This way you can send more emails without reaching the limits
  • Domain masking
    If you sent a lot of emails you will want your system to use domain masking to ensure links in your emails rotate between available domains
  • Smart queue with domain-specific rules
    So you can set hourly limits like this. Sent 200 emails per hour to Gmail, 300/h to Yahoo, 400/h to Hotmail, and 500/h to all domains that do not have their own rule
  • Automatic bounce processing
    Make sure you don’t send emails when they are being blocked. If possible redirect them to another IP or wait until blocking drops.
  • Automatic spam complaint processing (FBL)
    Ensure that when your contacts press on “This is spam” button they also get unsubscribed from your lists to prevent delivery to the spam folder
  • Ability to use Spintax everywhere
    Spin subjects, content, images, buttons, and links to avoid spam filters and to make sure not all emails you send looks the same
  • All necessary records including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
    To ensure you pass all checks and to make everything work
  • Automatic reputation monitoring and backoff rules
    Even in worst case scenario, things will be handled without your interference
  • Easy and user-friendly email marketing software
    Forget about Interspire, MailWizz, Sendy, etc they require too much work and clicking around to do anything and don’t have all features we want. I’ll show you an email marketing system that I use and will make your life a lot easier. It’s like a mix of all the best features and add-ons you ever saw in in-house email software and ESP providers like MailChimp, AWeber, and similar.
