set up 3 domains properly. spf, dkim, dmarc all passing, spam score fine. then i ran a placement test before sending more
40 test inboxes got it. 11 inbox, 10 promotions, 19 spam
every outlook, yahoo and aol address put it in spam. every one. gmail was the only place it landed
so now i only email people whose address runs on google. i check it before they even get on the list. 0 bounces in the last 446 sends
your setup can be perfect and still not matter. anyone else seeing outlook bury new domains?

Checking the MX before a contact even gets on the list is a smart filter, and 0 bounces in 446 says it's working. I've seen Outlook soften after a few weeks of steady low volume with real replies, so it might be worth a small test batch later. Until then, Google only is a reasonable call.
