How it works

How Mailrun operates your outbound email infrastructure.

Not a mailbox order — an operating model. Every domain and inbox is built, prepared, launched, rotated, watched, and repaired on Microsoft / Azure, so your capacity stays healthy as it scales.

Inboxes per domain
A recent single-customer deployment. Volume is spread across a rotating, resting domain pool — not maxed per inbox.
The principle

Horizontal scale beats vertical strain.

More sending should mean more domains, not more pressure on the same few. We add capacity sideways and keep density low — low density reduces the chance that one weak asset affects an entire campaign.

Vertical — few domains, overloadedAT RISK
The lifecycle

Six stages, one healthy pool.

Build

Microsoft domains and inboxes stood up at safe density.

Prepare

DNS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured and verified.

Launch

Sequencer-ready handoff into a controlled ramp.

Rotate

Volume spreads across a resting domain pool.

Watch

Bounces, replies, complaints, and domain behavior tracked.

Bench / Repair

Weakening domains paused, repaired, or replaced.

Automation

Order to inbox in hours, not weeks.

Provisioning runs end to end without a manual queue. Five automated steps from purchase to a sequencer-ready inbox.

01

Domains

Registered or brought in, ready to provision.

02

DNS & Auth

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set and verified.

03

Azure Inboxes

Mailboxes created at ≤10 per domain.

04

Mailbox Access

Credentials issued, ready to connect.

05

Sequencer Handoff

Clean files for Instantly, Smartlead, and more.

Fully automated — no manual provisioning queue.

What we watch

Health is monitored, not assumed.

We track signals that can surface early warning signs before replies dry up — without turning your domains into a science project.

Bounce Shifts

Sudden changes in bounce rate flag list or domain trouble early.

Reply Quality

Real replies are a cleaner placement signal than opens.

Complaint Rates

Spam complaints are watched as a hard ceiling on volume.

Out-of-Office Behavior

Auto-replies hint that mail is landing where it should.

Domain Behavior

Each domain's pattern is profiled so outliers stand out.

Inbox Placement

Placement signals are used where they're reliably available.

Proof, not promises

Views from the tooling that runs Mailrun infrastructure today — domain state, health scoring, mailbox verification, and sequencer handoff. Screenshots are from live systems, sanitized to protect customers.

Every domain's DNS status, sender routing, expiry, and mailbox count in one place.

A read-only check of what's actually arriving in the mailboxes — warm-up mail filtered out.

Sequencer-ready exports — CSV or direct upload, pre-warmed and standard kept separate.

Some views are operator tooling. Customer portal access varies by plan and rollout.

When a domain weakens

Pause. Rotate. Repair. Replace.

Domains rest and recover on the bench instead of getting burned to the ground.

01

Pause

Sending holds the moment a domain trends the wrong way.

02

Rotate Out

Volume shifts to healthy domains while the asset rests.

03

Repair

The domain is rehabilitated and re-warmed before reuse.

04

Replace

If it can't recover, fresh capacity swaps in cleanly.

Domain benched — rotation absorbs the volumeDAY 0WARMUPRAMPSCALE

What the bench looks like in practice: pool volume keeps ramping while a benched domain rests, because rotation absorbs its share.
