I want to clarify that my checklist doesn't advocate for people to purchase lists. If someone is located in a jurisdiction that permits sending of unsolicited commercial mail, and they purchased a list then they should validate it. Val

I haven't tried out hey.com yet. Does it mean I have to fill out some form or captcha in order to send someone an email? Or they would need to "approve" me first?

Hmm strange, my server is getting pummeled today with all the traffic from HN so it could or just been temporarily down but I just tried it myself right now and I am getting results for SEA -> Vietnam starting at US$29 from DLI to SGN. G

wow, almost half price. And who doesn't want to spend time in Fiji?! lol

Kind of, yes. From how I understand it, Authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR, et) and Reputation (Good domain & IP score) just informs ESPs that you're who you say you are and you're not abusing their network.

You work in this field I gather? What do you think of the checklist? Do I need to add, correct or change anything?

lol well the domain is available, you should buy it ;)

Exactly, think of all the transactional emails companies like Amazon or Stripe send out on an hourly basis.

by ismaelyws 4y ago
True, which is why it's important to "warm up" your IP and slowly ramp up volume over time.

by ismaelyws 4y ago
Yes mostly for businesses sending newsletters or cold outreach. But parts of it also important for transactional emails (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc)

yah, it's tedious. This is basically everything I did to finally get decent open rates.

Yup exactly. I just read a thread on Twitter the other day about a company in NYC (can't remember the name) where they sent an email about an event happening the same week. Their customers (double opt-in) never received the email beca

Yep mxtools is pretty useful for checking blacklists. However, I prefer Email-Tester.com for their granular report.

by ismaelyws 4y ago
You're right, good point. Will do that, thanks for the suggestion.

Have to disagree here. Companies do cold outreach and purchase leads all the time. From my experience as long as you clean your list, schedule batch delivery, personalize and comply with the CAN-SPAM At, ESP's will not block you.
