Email Campaign

We have an email list of approximately 30,000 contacts, all associated with the same .edu domain. We are preparing an email outreach campaign and need help improving deliverability in a compliant, sustainable way. The recipient domain appears to use Microsoft-based email filtering, and previous campaigns have experienced delivery issues after the first few thousand sends. We have already tested several standard deliverability approaches, including domain authentication, white-labeling, warmed/seasoned IPs, and gradual drip campaigns, but we are still encountering blocks. We are looking for an experienced email deliverability specialist who can help us diagnose the issue and develop a legitimate strategy to improve inbox placement while respecting email compliance standards and recipient-domain policies. Ideal candidate should have experience with: Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online Protection filtering behavior Large-volume email deliverability SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNS, and sender reputation setup IP and domain warming strategy Bounce analysis and suppression management Email content and engagement optimization Compliance with CAN-SPAM and other applicable email regulations Working with ESPs such as Twilio SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Postmark, or similar providers Deliverables may include: Audit of our current sending setup Diagnosis of likely blocking factors Recommendations for ESP, DNS, authentication, and sending strategy Campaign structure and throttling recommendations Best practices for list hygiene, segmentation, and suppression Guidance on whether coordination with the recipient domain’s IT/admin team is necessary We are not looking for spam tactics or methods to bypass security systems. We are looking for a legitimate deliverability expert who can help us improve sender reputation, compliance, and successful delivery to opted-in or otherwise appropriate recipients. Please include examples of past deliverability projects, especially involving Microsoft-filtered domains or high-volume institutional email campaigns.
