Cancelled Instantly Instantly - too many issues.

Setup Smartlead a couple weeks ago on the basic plan ($39/month) to start warming up emails & testing the platform with CSV uploads.

IMPORTANT: in Smartlead, DNS verification only requires the unique part of the selector, eg spacemail and not spacemail._domainkey to pass validation.

Campaign Import Settings:

4 emails out of 37 (10%) got blocked as having bounced with others, despite having been checked with Bouncer!

Unclear how to get a report of blocked emails 🤔
Had to download as CSV and run a script to filter out the blocked emails.
They are:

sabine.mueckenhausen@infineon.com: valid with both Bouncer & Clearout.
john.morgan@informa.com: valid with Bouncer, Clearout. Bulk Email Checker reports Status: Unknown, Event: inconclusive, Details: Transient error, please try again later..
juliet.bligh@informa.com: Bulk Email Checker reports Status: Unknown, Event: inconclusive, Details: Transient error, please try again later..
kathleen.puttemans@allianz.com: valid with Bulk Email Checker.

Spintax

Use Spintax To Randomise Email Messages.

Spintax or Spin Syntax is a bulk emailing hack that creates variations of sentences or words by using multiple words or phrases in the template.

You can add similar words such as {Hey} and {Hi}, separated by a vertical line |

For example:

{Hi|Hello|Hey}

This tactic will help you generate a more personalized set of cold emails.
Sending email messages with a little variation from one another increases the chances of landing in leads’ inboxes.

IP

"We use dynamic IP rotation to send triggers using a pool of 88,000 IP".
List of IPS: https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json

DKIM

To verify DKIM, just use the DKIM selector from each provider, eg.:
- spacemail and not spacemail._domainkey to pass validation
- s1-ionos for IONOS
