Google started cracking down on mailbox warm up services, just like they cracked down on folks trying to hack SEO back in the days.

I am indeed sacrificing 5-10% open rates from my existing 50% + open rates and might hit the spam more, but I can also scale more and send greater quantities.
Book a meeting with me if you need help with that setup:
