MAILTIG

Setup

A safe first outbound test

A short checklist before the first MAILTIG campaign: mailbox, domain, audience, credits, preflight and a tiny volume. Not a promise of results.

How MAILTIG is set up
Checklist of eight small steps from mailbox to a tiny first send.

A first MAILTIG test proves the plumbing: mailbox, domain, audience, credits, preflight, then a tiny volume. It is not a promise of pipeline.

Checklist

  1. Mailbox connected and test-connection green. Daily cap left at the provider default (50 for personal mailboxes).
  2. Sending domain verified. All four DNS checks pass. You understand this is not inbox placement.
  3. Postal address saved for the footer. MAILTIG will not start while this blocker is present.
  4. Audience of people you may email. Import ten, not ten thousand. Verify if you want (0.1 credit each).
  5. Sequence of two email steps and a reply branch. No purchased list. No scraped list.
  6. Credits. A new workspace has 250 trial credits. One sent email costs one credit.
  7. Preflight clean. Read every warning. If the workspace requires approval, get it.
  8. Send window in your time zone, weekends off unless you have a reason.

Then start. Read the inbox. If bounces appear, stop. MAILTIG will pause the campaign itself at a 5% bounce rate after 20 sends, but you can pause sooner.
