Email Deliverability

Email deliverability, enforced by default.

Half of cold email lands in spam, and the sender never finds out: the dashboard still says delivered. Salesgear gates every send with live validation, paced sending, and bounce auto-pause, so the inbox is the default outcome, not the lucky one.

Empowering 1,000+ sales leaders and representatives to build a stronger sales pipeline.

The send that went out, and the one that never did

Both took the rep zero extra clicks. The difference is a gate that runs on every single send.

The gate

10 verdicts before an email is allowed to leave

Every address is validated live at send time, not scrubbed once when the list was imported. The verdict decides what happens next, and the dangerous ones are handled without a human in the loop.

The message

The copy is scored before it ships

Deliverability is not only infrastructure. The words trigger filters too, so the editor scores every email before it goes anywhere near an inbox.

Spam Score

The message itself is scored for spam triggers before it ships, so the copy never undoes what the infrastructure protected.

Readability, three indexes

Gunning Fog, Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease, and Automated Readability Index, scored in the editor. Simple emails get read, and get delivered.

Variation built in

Spintax variants mean no two sends read identically, so volume never looks like a template blast to the filters.

Your links, your domain

Custom URLs put unsubscribe, open, and click-tracking links on your own branded domain via CNAME, so your reputation never rides on a shared tracking domain.

Pacing

Sent like a person, scaled like a system

Mailbox providers do not punish volume, they punish patterns that look like a machine. Deliverability here is not a rep setting. It is the default.

  • Spaced sends per inbox, with configurable delay between every email, so no inbox ever bursts.
  • Daily limits only an admin can change. Reps cannot raise their own cap on a good day, which is what enforced actually means.
  • Sending windows and timezone-aware resets: emails go out in the hours you define, and a Singapore inbox is not judged on New York hours.
  • Out-of-office aware: an OOO reply pushes the follow-up out by the days you set, instead of emailing an empty chair.
  • Unlimited inboxes, rotated: connect as many as you need with no per-user cap, and sends rotate across all of them. Volume scales sideways, never by burning one inbox.

After the send

Bounces are caught on arrival, not in next month's report

The damage from a bad list is cumulative: every bounce your domain absorbs makes the next send a little less likely to land. So the watching never stops.

28+ bounce patterns

Replies are matched against known bounce texts, from “address not found” to delayed bounces, before they can hide in the inbox.

Hard vs soft, classified

AI classifies every bounce so a full mailbox is not treated like a dead address, and a dead address is never retried.

Auto-pause on failure

An inbox that loses access pauses every sequence running on it. A broken connection never burns a list.

Domain-level suppression

Block example.com and mail.example.com is blocked too. Customers and legal-sensitive domains stay untouched, team-wide.

The gauge

You cannot fix a spam problem you cannot see

Regular outbound gives you no inbox-or-spam signal, which is how half your email ends up in spam while the dashboard says delivered. Salesgear gives you two live gauges instead.

  • Per-inbox deliverability %, under every connected inbox: what share of warm-up sends landed in the inbox over the last days. If it reads 96%, that is what your campaigns can expect. If it dips, you know before your prospects do.
  • Domain health, scored 4 points: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX checked with provider-specific fix guides in the Domain Health Center.
  • Emails saved from spam is tracked per inbox too, so a reputation problem surfaces as a number, not a hunch.

FAQ

Email deliverability with Salesgear, answered

What does Salesgear check before sending an email?

Every address runs through live validation at send time with 10 possible verdicts. Valid and low-risk addresses send. Invalid addresses are blocked and the contact is marked bounced. Spam traps, abuse addresses, and do-not-mail addresses are blocked and the contact is moved to opted out automatically.

What happens when an address is invalid or risky?

Invalid addresses never send, and the contact moves to the bounced stage so no other sequence retries them. Spam traps and abuse addresses move the contact to opted out, protecting your domain from the lists that do the most damage. Risky and catch-all addresses send with caution flags.

Will throttling slow down my outreach?

It paces each inbox, it does not cap your motion. Sends are spaced per inbox with daily limits that reset on the inbox's own timezone, and volume scales by adding inboxes. Paced sending is why the delivered volume stays high: a burned domain sends nothing at all.

How are bounces detected and handled?

Bounces are caught two ways: 28+ known bounce patterns matched on the reply, plus AI classification into hard and soft bounces. Bounce counts are tracked per contact, and sequences auto-pause when an inbox loses access. Across customers this holds bounce rates under 3%, the lowest in the industry.

Which email providers does this work with?

Gmail, Google Workspace, and Office 365 connect natively, and any other provider connects over SMTP and IMAP. Deliverability enforcement applies to every connected inbox the same way.

How are unsubscribes handled?

The unsubscribe link is enforced: a sequence email cannot save without one, and the link text is customizable to match your voice. When someone opts out, the contact moves to opted out platform-wide, so no rep and no other sequence can email them again.

Can I block a whole company, not just one address?

Yes. The do-not-contact list works at the domain level and normalizes to the base domain, so blocking example.com also blocks mail.example.com addresses. Customers, partners, and legal-sensitive domains stay untouched across every sequence and every rep.
