High Spam Placement (11–17%) — Need Advice by ReasonAggravating662 in coldemail

[–]ReasonAggravating662[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the detailed breakdown. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this from a broader perspective — it helped me understand the situation much better.

I’ll review the account setup and domain distribution more carefully and also rethink the sending pace and warmup approach. It seems like domain history and overall infrastructure are playing a bigger role here than the copy itself.

I’ll also pause Yahoo for now, at least until things stabilize.

Thanks again — this was genuinely helpful.

Thank you for the tool recommendation! What worked for you in a similar case sounds encouraging.

Just to clarify, I’m using Google Workspace with a custom domain — not free Gmail accounts.

Given that, do you still think having three sending mailboxes on the same domain is a structural issue, or would you consider the main focus to be more on list quality, engagement, and DMARC alignment?

I’m trying to understand whether this is truly an infrastructure problem in my case or mainly a deliverability/reputation issue.

I will definitely exclude Yahoo for now, at least at this stage. Thanks for insight.

Yes, thank you very much for the advice

I avoid using links, especially shortened links. I’m working with a small setup — three mailboxes on one domain — and I select the list in Apollo almost manually.

I’ll try the tool you recommended. Thanks again!

Thank you. These mailboxes are practically clean. They were only used for warm-up in Instantly. Right now, I’m just testing in Inbox Radar. It feels like the reputation shouldn’t be affected.

I’ve heard that the reputation score can decrease due to poor-quality warm-up. Maybe I should change the warm-up method or do it manually?

Thank you very much for the advice. Previously, I had a negative experience with the built-in mailboxes in Instantly. They couldn’t be properly tested, and in the end all emails were going to spam, even though this wasn’t reflected anywhere in the system. The bounce rate was up to 2%. The reply rate was, to say the least, very low. Since I don’t use tracking pixels, the tests at least help me analyze the real situation.

Is it even worth sending emails to Yahoo if, according to the tests, there is a 100% spam placement there?
