Authentication is table stakes. The real work is reputation, operations, and recovery.
I run high-volume sending every day — dozens of domains, multi-IP rotation, reputation and bounce management at scale — so I diagnose from operating, not theory.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all pass — yet your mail keeps missing the inbox.
Placement fell off after a dedicated-IP switch, a volume spike, or a bad campaign.
Major filters or DNSBLs are rejecting or quarantining your mail.
Multiple sources, multi-IP rotation, subdomains — too tangled to manage alone.
You send at scale and need someone who runs that kind of operation daily.
The value isn’t the authentication — it’s knowing why authenticated mail still fails, and operating the fix.
Find why authenticated mail still hits spam — reputation, sending behavior, list/engagement, infrastructure. Pull DMARC reports to map every sending source.
Rebuild damaged IP/domain reputation — warm-up, engagement-based ramp, per-ISP throttling (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo), bounce and complaint suppression.
Multiple sources, subdomain separation (marketing / sales / transactional), SPF 10-lookup limits, DMARC enforcement to p=reject, unsubscribe and suppression governance.
Diagnose, fix the root cause, and submit delisting. Final approval is the operator’s, and staying off depends on sending practice — but the cause gets fixed.
Set up reputation monitoring — Google Postmaster, Microsoft SNDS, DMARC aggregate reports, blacklists — and watch it for you with alerting.
SaaS or self-hosted — I work as an invited user, via API, with server access, or purely advisory if you’d rather not grant access.
Start with a fixed-price audit and recovery. Stay on with an ongoing retainer if your sending needs continuous attention. Scoped to your case — message me for a quote.
A health audit (authentication, reputation, inbox placement, sending sources) followed by a recovery plan with realistic timelines — reputation recovery is usually 2–4 weeks.
I take ownership of deliverability on your platform — monitoring, throttling, rotation, blacklist handling — as the inbox keeps changing. Best when volume is high and the setup needs continuous attention.
Authentication, reputation, inbox placement, and every sending source mapped from DMARC reports.
Pinpoint the root cause — sending behavior, list/engagement, or infrastructure.
Correct what’s in my area, advise on the rest, and run an engagement-based recovery plan.
Stand up monitoring (Postmaster, SNDS, DMARC, blacklists) with alerts — one-time, or ongoing.
Because authentication is not deliverability. Authentication proves who sent the mail; the inbox decision is driven by reputation — how recipients engage, how you send, your IP/domain history, and your infrastructure. Perfect green auth can still land in spam. I find the actual cause and fix it.
Any platform — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce/Pardot, Klaviyo, SendGrid, Instantly/Smartlead, or self-hosted (Postfix/Mailcow). For SaaS I work as an invited user or via API; for self-hosted, with server access. An advisory option (no access — you run the plan, I review) is available too.
Usually 2–4 weeks. Reputation is rebuilt through engagement-based sending, not a setting you flip. I’ll give you a realistic timeline after the audit.
No. I work from aggregate statistics and event logs inside your platform — I don’t take exported raw lists. Segmentation happens in your tool. If a task genuinely needs PII, it’s under a DPA, minimized, time-bound, and deleted.
I diagnose, fix the root cause, and submit the delisting request. Final approval rests with the listing operator, and staying off depends on your sending practice. I handle everything on my side and set you up so it doesn’t recur.
If your setup is simple and stable, you probably don’t need me — self-service is enough, and I’ll tell you so. This is for senders with real volume or complexity. A good fit is the point.
Tell me your platform, rough volume and destination providers, and what changed before the problem started. I’ll start with an audit, then a recovery plan with realistic timelines.
