Spot the drop before your next send.

A campaign can reach Gmail's inbox and still land in Outlook's junk folder. Test through your real sending service, compare provider results and see when inbox placement changes.

Run a one-off check before launch or schedule regular tests. Follow inbox, Promotions, spam and not-received outcomes alongside spam scores and sender history.

Build sending history at the right pace.

Prepare a new sender or support an existing sender's recovery with controlled email warmup. Increase volume in measured steps and watch delivery and placement as the schedule progresses.

MailSlurp uses inbox receipts, delivery failures, domain health and available placement signals to guide the next target. Connect a supported provider or authenticated SMTP and keep your real sending identity.

Keep your sending domain in good health.

A DNS change can affect delivery long after the original setup. Monitor SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX and blocklist signals, then investigate the exact record or finding that needs attention.

Run checks on demand or on a schedule. Keep passes, warnings, failures and unchecked signals distinct, with a history of changes for each domain.

Follow changes over time

Compare checks before and after adding an ESP or updating DNS. A changed authentication policy is easier to investigate with its history in view.

Deliverability monitoring questions

What should I monitor to protect email deliverability?

Measure inbox placement across the providers your audience uses, follow your sender's warmup progress, and monitor authentication, routing and blocklist findings. Before a campaign, add device rendering and Email Audit to check the message itself. MailSlurp gives each check its own results so you can investigate the sender, the content and the receiving mailbox together.

How is inbox placement different from a successful send?

A successful send means the receiving server accepted the message. An inbox placement test records where it arrived in real seed accounts: inbox, Promotions, spam or junk, or not received. Compare the provider results to see whether a change affects one mailbox service or a wider audience. Explore inbox placement testing.

How do warmup and placement testing work together?

Warmup builds sending history at a controlled pace. MailSlurp uses delivery and sender-health signals to guide the ramp, while placement tests show where sampled messages land. Review those outcomes before increasing volume and run a placement test with the actual campaign before a major send. Explore email warmup.

Can I keep using my current sending platform?

Yes. Test mail sent through your current ESP or application. Use supported sending-service connections for scheduled checks, send a manual campaign to the test's seed addresses, or create tests and retrieve results through the API. Warmup supports native provider connections and authenticated SMTP. Read the inbox placement guide.

Can my team receive alerts when something changes?

Yes. Inbox placement changes can notify Slack or Microsoft Teams. Domain monitoring supports email, Slack, Microsoft Teams and webhooks, with severity settings for each destination. Open the affected run and compare its findings with previous checks to investigate the change. Set up domain monitoring.
