Published June 12th, 2023 by Darren Blumenfeld
The struggle to create exceptional email campaigns while ensuring that they land in recipients' primary inboxes rather than spam folders is a challenge that plagues many marketers.

How to set up DKIM for your domain
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
DKIM setup is one of the fastest ways to increase inbox placement because it proves your messages are authentic. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a cryptographic signature to each outbound email using a private key held by your sender. Receiving servers then fetch your public key from a DKIM DNS record and verify two things: the message really
How to set up an SPF record for your domain
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
SPF record setup is the process of publishing a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) TXT record in DNS that tells receiving mail servers which sending servers are authorized to send email for your domain, helping prevent spoofing and improving inbox placement.

Email bounce management: soft vs hard bounces
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
Email bounce management is the process of monitoring, classifying, and acting on “bounce back email” responses so you stop sending to addresses that can’t (or won’t) accept mail. It’s a deliverability must-have—not optional cleanup—because mailbox providers treat bounces as a direct signal of list quality. If you keep mailing bad addresses, your sen
Why are my emails going to spam?
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
Legitimate emails land in spam because spam filters predict risk, not intent. A brand-new domain, a sudden volume spike, a missing authentication record, or a history of low engagement can look statistically similar to abusive sending — so the safest placement is often the junk folder. The good news: most spam placement problems have identifiable ro
How to set up a custom tracking domain for email
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
A custom tracking domain email setup means your open/click tracking links are rewritten to use a subdomain you control (for example, click.yourdomain.com) instead of a shared, default tracking domain—making it a low-effort, high-impact deliverability lever. When you rely on a provider’s shared tracking domain, your messages can inherit someone else’
Email content best practices for deliverability
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
Email content matters for deliverability because inbox providers and spam filters evaluate what you say and how you format it alongside authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), sender reputation, and recipient engagement. Great copy won’t fix a bad domain, but when those fundamentals are in place, content is often the deciding factor between Inbox, Promotio
How to repair email sender reputation after deliverability issues
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
Email reputation repair is the process of restoring trust in your sending domain and/or IP so mailbox providers place your messages in the inbox again. If you’re seeing deliverability problems like sudden spam-folder placement, “missing” emails that never show up, throttling (slow or partial delivery), or outright blocks/bounces, you’re in the right
Gmail deliverability: reach Primary, avoid Promotions and spam
Published March 4th, 2026 by Darren Blumenfeld
Gmail deliverability means where your message lands inside Gmail—the Primary inbox, the Promotions tab, or Spam—not just whether it was “delivered.” For most senders, Gmail is the #1 mailbox provider because it consistently represents 30%+ of typical email lists, and its filtering decisions often predict how other providers will treat your mail. If
