Sure, it requires time and accuracy, but it helps you understand how <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/blog\/how-to-send-10000-cold-emails\/\">cold email infrastructure<\/a> works.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s explore the steps you need to complete to safely launch outreach from a separate domain.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Buy a domain (don\u2019t use your main one)<\/h3>\n<p>You need to get a domain for your cold outreach that is different from your main one. That is because, even if you adhere to all cold email best practices, your emails may still trigger bounces and spam complaints.<\/p>\n<p>If your main domain\u2019s reputation is damaged, all your brand communication can potentially be filtered out as spam. This, of course, may spoil your brand image and lead to revenue loss.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u26a0\ufe0f Are you a Gmail or Yahoo user? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that more than three spam complaints for every 1,000 messages can already damage your sender reputation?<\/p>\n<p><i>Learn more vital rules set by major email providers from this short video:<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n-O_ue0L5IM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n-O_ue0L5IM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Luckily, nowadays you can purchase a separate domain for your cold email infrastructure that sounds very similar to your main domain. For example, if your main domain is <b><i>company.com<\/i><\/b>, use <b><i>getcompany.com<\/i><\/b> or <b><i>company-outreach.com<\/i><\/b> for outreach needs.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some naming tips for cold email domain setup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep it short and easy to read<\/b>. Short domains look more professional; plus, your brand\u2019s name has a greater chance of standing out to the recipient.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid numbers and hyphens<\/b>. They resemble spam or phishing domains. Both inbox filters and recipients may treat them as suspicious.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use reliable Top-Level Domains (<\/b><b><i>.com<\/i><\/b><b>, <\/b><b><i>.io<\/i><\/b><b>, <\/b><b><i>.net<\/i><\/b><b>, <\/b><b><i>.co.uk<\/i><\/b><b>, <\/b><b><i>.ca<\/i><\/b><b>, etc.)<\/b>. Well-established TLDs have higher trust and deliverability.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stay away from TLDs like <\/b><b><i>.biz<\/i><\/b><b> or <\/b><b><i>.xyz<\/i><\/b>. These extensions are frequently used in low-quality campaigns. As email providers don\u2019t trust them, your inbox placement may be in danger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I also recommend purchasing domains from reputable registrars, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Google Domains (now part of Squarespace)<\/b> offers reliable TLDs and strong integration with Google services.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Namecheap<\/b> is best if you need bulk domain management and want DNS record changes to become visible across global servers within minutes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Porkbun<\/b> is praised for its clean interface, good TLD availability, and free WHOIS privacy.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>GoDaddy<\/b> is popular for its large inventory of TLDs and low entry-level prices (but watch out for upsells and higher renewal rates!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019re not limited to the above registrars for your cold email domain setup. Just ensure you\u2019re buying from the one with a strong reputation, transparent pricing, and deep support for DNS configuration.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Configure DNS records<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have the domain, you must configure it for email deliverability. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC essentially confirm to inbox providers that your messages are legitimate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">SPF prevents spoofing<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">DKIM helps the receiver verify that the incoming email wasn\u2019t tampered with<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">DMARC instructs providers how to handle suspicious mail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Configuring these records is considered the trickiest, albeit vital, part. But don\u2019t worry, below is the detailed guide on how to set up a domain for cold outreach in compliance with major email providers\u2019 requirements:<\/p>\n<h4>\u2705 <b>SPF <\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Set it to authorize specific servers to send email on your domain\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Go to your domain registrar\u2019s DNS settings panel.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Add a new <b>TXT<\/b> record:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Name\/Host:<\/b> @ (or leave blank, depending on a registrar)<\/p>\n<p><b>Value: <\/b>v=spf1 include:&lt;email-service-provider&gt; ~all<\/p>\n<p>Where ~all (soft fail) or -all (hard fail) depends on how strict you want enforcement to be. Use ~all if you&#8217;re still testing or adding new services. Use -all only when you\u2019re sure no unauthorized source should ever send from your domain.<\/p>\n<p>For example, for Snov.io, the value would be \u201cv=spf1 include:snov.io ~all\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Save the record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udd0e <\/b><b><i>Expert tip: <\/i><\/b><i>Use only one SPF record per domain. If you need to give permission to multiple services, combine them all in one SPF record.<\/i><\/p>\n<h4>\u2705 <b>DKIM<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Set it to add a digital signature to your outgoing emails.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Generate a DKIM key in your email platform (e.g., Google Workspace).<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">It will give you:\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Selector<\/b> (e.g., google)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Public key<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">In your DNS settings, create a new <b>TXT<\/b> record:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Name\/Host: <\/b>&lt;selector&gt;._domainkey (for example, if your email platform is Google, it would be \u201cgoogle._domainkey\u201d)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Value:<\/b> The public key string provided by your email provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Save the record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udd0e<\/b><b><i> Expert tip: <\/i><\/b><i>Each provider uses a different selector, so always check if you\u2019re using the correct one.<\/i><\/p>\n<h4>\u2705 <b>DMARC<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Configure it to instruct your mailbox provider what to do if SPF or DKIM fails, and also receive reports.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Create a TXT record in DNS:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Name\/Host:<\/b> _dmarc<\/p>\n<p><b>Value: <\/b>v=DMARC1; p=none<\/p>\n<p>If you set<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">p=none, your provider will only monitor the cases when SPF or DKIM fails<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">p=quarantine, it will send failed emails to spam<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">p=reject, the failed emails will be blocked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to automatically obtain these reports, specify where to send them during the DMARC configuration. Create a separate mailbox to receive DMARC reports (it can be something like \u201cyour-report@getcompany.com\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>In this case, your Value should look like this:<br \/>\n\u201cv=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:your-report@getcompany.com\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019re finished with configuring your DNS records, remember to check if they are valid and detected correctly. There are multiple tools available for this task:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">MXToolbox<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Google Admin Toolbox<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Snov.io <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/email-deliverability-test\">Deliverability check<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f <b><i>Remember:<\/i><\/b><i> SPF, DKIM, and DMARC changes can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 48 hours to become visible globally, depending on your registrar.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Create a branded mailbox<\/h3>\n<p>Congratulations! You&#8217;re almost done. The only step left is completing the branded mailbox setup for outreach. Creating a mailbox that looks real and trustworthy is no less essential for your outreach success than proper infrastructure configurations.<\/p>\n<p>Your sender identity should feel personal, legitimate, and consistent with your brand.<\/p>\n<p>If you need multiple mailboxes for outreach, it\u2019s best to integrate them with a unified inbox, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-set-up-unibox-for-teams\/\"><b>Snov.io Unibox<\/b><\/a>. This way, you won\u2019t lose track of any of your conversations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-with__image\"><p>What I love most is how easily Google Workspace integrates with the Unibox. There\u2019s no need to mess with server settings or app passwords. Just a few clicks and voila! Your Gmail account is live inside Snov.io.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now you have full control over conversations. Meaning, tracking replies takes less time, and your reply rate is actually going up! That\u2019s right, based on analysis of 44M+ emails sent through Snov.io, Gmail API (OAuth) yields 3.45% average reply rate, while the SMTP setup has only 1.66% average reply rate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blockquote-image\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dmytro-Krasiuk.png\" alt=\"Dmytro Krasiuk\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"blockquote-image__info\">\n<p class=\"blockquote-image__info-author\">Dmytro Krasiuk<\/p>\n<p class=\"blockquote-image__info-position\">Outbound Outreach Expert at Snov.io<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"opt2\">Option 2 \u2013 Done-For-You setup with Snov.io<\/h2>\n<p>Manual cold email domain setup sounds like a headache? If you want to save time and effort, try option number two: Snov.io\u2019s Done-For-You (DFY) mailbox setup. This feature delivers verified domains and mailboxes automatically, so you can start outreach faster without risking deliverability errors.<\/p>\n<h3>Why we created the DFY mailbox setup for outreach<\/h3>\n<p>Many users don\u2019t know how to set up a domain for cold outreach correctly, which often results in poor deliverability. And we never want that for our clients!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Snov.io decided to make cold email infrastructure setup instant, reliable, and fully automated.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, setting DNS records, mailboxes, and warm-up takes time and requires technical know-how, often delaying the start of campaigns. Meanwhile, most cold outreach platforms can\u2019t work properly until the domain and email accounts are configured correctly.<\/p>\n<p>DFY cold email domain setup removes the friction by handling everything for you. So you can focus directly on what matters: launching personalized campaigns, improving deliverability, and generating replies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-with__image\"><p>Our Done-For-You Domains and Mailboxes solve one of the biggest barriers to successful outreach: technical setup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By making domain selection, authentication, and mailbox creation easy, we eliminate manual errors and long setup cycles. It gives non-tech users a fast, reliable, and fully compliant email infrastructure from the start.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blockquote-image\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/dana.jpg\" alt=\"Dana Rudenko\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"blockquote-image__info\">\n<p class=\"blockquote-image__info-author\">Dana Rudenko<\/p>\n<p class=\"blockquote-image__info-position\">Head of Product Marketing at Snov.io<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>What you can do with the DFY cold email domain setup<\/h3>\n<p>By using the DFY mailbox setup for outreach, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Purchase and connect domains<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You just need to choose a domain name, and the system will automatically suggest available TLDs for it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Create ready-to-use mailboxes<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I recommend having at least 2-3 domains, with 3-5 mailboxes per domain. The minimum purchase is 3 mailboxes, but the exact number depends on your sending volume. Consider that the optimal sending volume per mailbox is 20-30 emails per day, while sending more than 50 emails per day is considered risky.<\/p>\n<p>SPF, DKIM, and DMARC will be configured automatically. You\u2019ll also be able to easily set up tracking and forwarding. Normally, forwarding requires DNS changes, but with the DFY cold email domain setup, you only need to update the redirect domain in <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/email-account\">your account<\/a>.
