Hey all, running Smartlead for sending and Zapmail for domains, 50 domains, 100 inboxes. What's actually working for you for inbox placement testing and blacklist monitoring at this scale? Looking at GlockApps and EmailGuard right now, curious what people are actually running day to day.

hey all, curious how others running cold outbound at scale would poke holes in our process. here's roughly how we do it start to finish: buy domains → warm up (2+ weeks, sometimes longer) → placement test before putting them in rotation (we go by business-inbox placement since we're all B2B, newer domains land 100% in o365/workspace even when they spam-folder consumer gmail) lists: verified only, we drop catch-all and unverified before anything goes out sending: plain text, no links, ~15-30/inbox/day, slow ramp, spread across inboxes rather than pushing volume on any one monitoring: placement test + blocklist checks, swap out anything that goes bad running ~40 domains this way. what are we missing? anything you'd consider table stakes at this scale that we're not doing?

hey all, Sai here. spent about 8 months grinding to break into gtm engineering, building projects, putting together a portfolio, doing the work before anyone was paying me for it. finally landed a Founding GTM Engineer role at a growth agency. now i build the outbound and enrichment systems, signal-based lead research, scoring pipelines, deliverability infra across a domain fleet. live mostly in clay, smartlead, and a lot of python holding it all together. here to trade notes and learn from people doing this at scale. currently deep in deliverability and domain warmup, so if that's your world, would love to connect. 👋
