-
Subdomain Alignment: Make sure your SPF and DKIM records explicitly match the sending subdomain you are using, not just the root domain.
-
Sudden Volume Spikes: Jumping from 10 to 50+ emails a day on a new inbox triggers automated inbox provider throttling. You need to step up volume gradually over a few weeks.
-
Tracking Domain Reputation: Using default shared custom tracking links can hurt your sender domain if other users on that shared link send poor-quality copy.
Full disclosure: I build an automated outreach tool (Chronos) focused on domain deliverability and warmup, but fixing those three technical settings manually will solve about 80% of inbox placement drops without buying any new software.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you run into any specific errors on your DNS setup.
