Subject: Seeking Email Setup Advice
Hello Agency Owners,
I’m looking for some advice on email setup to help me avoid spam filters. I’m currently sending around 80 speculative emails each day and want to ensure my messages reach their intended recipients.
How do you all organize your email processes for this volume? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

When it comes to setting up email for sending a higher volume of outreach emails, there are several strategies you can implement to minimize the chances of landing in spam filters:
Use a Professional Email Domain: Make sure you’re sending emails from a professional domain (e.g., yourbusiness.com) rather than a generic one like Gmail or Yahoo. This builds credibility and trust.
Authenticate Your Emails: Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your domain. These authentication measures help verify that your emails are legitimate and improve deliverability.
Warm Up Your Email Account: If your email account is new or you’re significantly increasing your sending volume, gradually increase the number of emails sent each day over a few weeks. This can help avoid being flagged for spam.
Segment Your Lists: Instead of sending to a large list all at once, segment your audience and send smaller batches over time. Personalization in your outreach can also help improve response rates.
Craft Quality Content: Ensure your emails are engaging and relevant to the recipient. Avoid spammy language, excessive links, and attachments. High-quality content encourages recipients to engage with your emails.
Monitor Engagement: Keep an eye on open rates, click-through rates, and responses. Low engagement can hurt your sender reputation. If certain emails aren’t performing well, consider tweaking your approach.
Use a Reputable Email Service Provider: Consider using an email marketing service that specializes in deliverability. They often provide tools and analytics to help you monitor your campaign performance.
Provide an Unsubscribe Option: Always include an easy way for recipients to unsubscribe from your emails. This not only complies with regulations but can also help maintain a healthy sender reputation.
Test Your Emails: Before sending out a campaign, use tools to test whether your emails are likely to hit spam filters and to check how they render across various email clients.
Stay Compliant with Regulations: Follow regulations like CAN-SPAM and GDPR, depending on your location and audience. This not only protects you legally but helps in establishing trust with your recipients.
By implementing these strategies, you should be able to improve your email deliverability and avoid the spam folder while reaching your target audience effectively. Good luck!
