Most cold email tools market "deliverability" without showing a single number. Here's what imail actually does to keep your emails out of spam — and what we won't claim we can do.
We check your sending domains against 15+ DNS blocklists every hour (Spamhaus, Barracuda, SORBS, Spamcop, and 11 others). The moment you appear on one, you get a notification with the specific list and the typical de-listing path.
DMARC reports come back from major ISPs telling you who's failing SPF/DKIM alignment. imail parses the reports and shows you a weekly dashboard: forwarders failing alignment, IPs outside your authorized range, percentages over time.
Hard bounce? Added to your global suppression list within 60 seconds. Soft bounce more than 3 times? Same. The bounce category is parsed from the SMTP response and shown in your dashboard.
Tell us your domain registrar. We generate the exact DNS records — including quirks like Cloudflare's split-zone delegation or Dynadot's MX-on-subdomain limit. You paste, we verify, done.
Brand-new inbox? Starts at 5 sends/day for three days, ramps to 50, then 200 over 21 days. If reply rate dips below threshold during warmup, the schedule pauses automatically. You don't have to babysit a spreadsheet.
Before launching a campaign, send to 12 test seed inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Zoho, FastMail, custom servers) and see where it landed: Primary / Promotions / Spam / Updates. Find out if your subject line is killing you before 10,000 leads do.
Anyone who does is either lying or measuring a non-representative sample. Real-world placement varies wildly by recipient ESP, time of day, content, list source, sender domain age, and a dozen other factors. We won't put a number on the page that doesn't survive contact with reality.
The technical mechanism is fine. The marketing claim is misleading. Inbox placement is a function of dozens of signals — content, list quality, send volume curve, reply rate, DMARC alignment, IP reputation. A warmup network is one input. We use one. We don't oversell it.
Get the dashboard. Get the data. Stop optimizing on vibes.
