A successful email marketing strategy involves more than creating good content. Consistent delivery, list management, and campaign tracking are equally important. Choosing a reliable SMTP service provider, such as iDealSMTP, can help ensure marketing emails are delivered efficiently while supporting business growth.

As email volumes increase, having the right infrastructure becomes an essential part of maintaining campaign performance and customer engagement.
 
Looks more like a promo than a discussion, but yeah SMTP is only one piece. If the list is weak or not warmed properly, even a decent provider won't save deliverability. Need clean segments, bounce handling, proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC and not blasting cold data like crazy... otherwise growth turns into domain burn pretty fast.
 
warming is the part most people skip and then wonder why they tank on day 3. doesnt matter how good the provider is if you go from 0 to 5k sends overnight, gmail will just shove you in spam and thats that.

one thing nobody mentioned, watch your engagement on the early sends. if opens are trash in the first couple weeks the reputation never really recovers, you basically have to start over on a fresh domain. so i try to send to the most active part of the list first, get those opens up, then slowly fold in the colder stuff.

also rotating subdomains helps if youre running volume so your main domain doesnt eat everything if one campaign goes sideways. idk if OP is doing dedicated IP or shared but on shared you're kinda at the mercy of whoever else is on it.
 
20k with no response usually means the issue isn’t the SMTP, it’s list quality or inbox placement. if opens are basically dead, fix authentication, warm the domain/IP slower, and check spam placement from a few inboxes first. if opens are there but nobody bites, then the offer or subject line is off... not the sending service. Also worth splitting the list, hitting the most active segment first, and cleaning bounces/unsubs hard before pushing volume.
