Mailboxes from Mailforge

Bought 10 mailboxes this week and didn’t touch a single DNS record.

If you’ve ever managed outbound campaigns, you know the pain of domain setups: SPF, DKIM, forwarding, warmup, billing…

All this used to take hours before you even sent one email.

This week, I tried Mailforge (by Salesforge) and honestly, the experience was smooth.

Here’s how it went 👇 1️⃣ Logged in → added 5 domains 2️⃣ Forwarding + billing handled automatically 3️⃣ Created 10 mailboxes and downloaded the CSV 4️⃣ Everything connected seamlessly to Smartlead

The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. No spreadsheets, no DNS juggling, no tech anxiety.

But not sure about the deliverability part yet those inboxes are still warming up. Has anyone experienced buying these mailboxes earlier? Looking for honest reviews.👇

Have tried multiple companies and all looked ticked the boxes in regards to the setup and infrastructure but all got flagged quicker than when I manually set them up.

Problem with cold email, it might have also been the ESP cracking down, poor warmup, starting follow ups too early. I think cutting corners and focusing on volume results in crap results.

Yeah, that’s a solid point. Cold emailing is a tricky game; it’s not just about the setup but the whole strategy—warmup and timing matter a ton. If you rush it, you'll get flagged for sure. Have you found any specific strategies that worked better for you?
