    Domain Warmup

    Warming an entire secondary domain, not just its individual mailboxes.

    Definition

    Domain warmup is the period during which you send only small, gradual volumes from a fresh cold outbound domain so it earns sender reputation before scaling.

    Month to month. Scoped on a 20 minute call.

    Why it matters

    Volume from a brand new domain looks like spam to Google and Microsoft. Domain warmup avoids being blocked before you start.

    How it works

    • Register the domain and let it age 2 to 4 weeks
    • Set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and a custom tracking domain
    • Create mailboxes and warm each one
    • Ramp real sending volume week by week
