Even using SendGrid, it will be a week or two and a few hundred emails to 'warm up' one of their mailserver's IP addresses and get reliable delivery. Like you, I found VZ to be the worst at trusting new servers.
The days of firing off an email from any ol' SMTP server are completely gone.
- tomxor 6y ago> The days of firing off an email from any ol' SMTP server are completely gone. I'm not sure... I agree with the general vibe in this thread however my experience (within the last year) is that you can fire up a fresh one and send email to gmail at least, without SPF, DKIM or DMARC. However as soon as you start doing any mass mailing of any kind you need all three of those things, SPF to not get outright blocked and get into the spam, and the other two to have their spam detection filters to even bother parsing your email content for the chance of getting into the inbox. This is my experience from setting up systems that send automated status emails not marketing, so fairly low volume but frequent enough with same message content to be immediately classified as mass emailing.
- roblabla 6y agoI've never had issues with gmail, though I know a few people who did. But I think setting up SPF and DKIM will, for the most part, do the trick to allow communicating with gmail users. The problem is the other provider. Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft. They're all a pain in the neck and much, much stricter. And sadly, they still amount to a not insignificant portion of the market.
