How it works

From a cold mailbox to a trusted sender, in ten steps.

Short answerRoxInbox connects your mailbox, fixes its DNS, then runs a daily cycle: it sends real conversations into a multi-provider network, watches where they land, has recipients act like people, and adjusts the next day's volume from those signals until the mailbox reaches its plateau.

Signal 1

Authentication

SPF, DKIM and DMARC prove the mail really comes from your domain. Warm-up can't create these, so RoxInbox checks them first.

Signal 2

History and volume

Domain age, and whether sending grows gradually. The ramp replaces a sudden spike with a smooth curve.

Signal 3

Recipient reactions

Opens, replies, rescues from spam and the absence of complaints. This is where the network does most of its work.

The lifecycle

Ten steps. Steps 4 to 9 repeat every day.

  1. 1

    Connect the mailbox

    Add the mailbox with OAuth for Microsoft 365, IMAP and SMTP with an app password for Google Workspace and most other providers, or plain IMAP and SMTP for corporate servers. Agencies can import hundreds of mailboxes from CSV. Credentials go straight into an encrypted vault.

  2. 2

    Diagnose

    Before anything is sent, RoxInbox checks SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX and PTR records, looks the domain and IP up on major blocklists, and notes the domain's age. Anything broken comes with a fix you can copy.

  3. 3

    Plan the ramp

    RoxInbox builds a ramp for the mailbox: a starting volume of 2-5 emails a day, a target of 30-50, and a provider mix. New domains, aged domains and recovering domains get different curves.

  4. 4

    Run the daily cycleDaily

    Each day the scheduler turns the plan into tasks: which network mailboxes to write to, when, and in what thread. No pair of mailboxes talks more than once every 5-7 days.

  5. 5

    SendDaily

    The mailbox sends AI-written messages over its own SMTP connection, in its industry and language, continuing earlier threads where they exist. No links, attachments or tracking.

  6. 6

    Receive in the networkDaily

    Network mailboxes on every provider check where the message landed: inbox, a tab such as Promotions, or spam.

  7. 7

    Act like a recipientDaily

    The receiving mailbox opens the message, rescues it from spam if needed, sometimes stars it, and replies 40-60% of the time, all with human delays and working hours.

  8. 8

    Collect signalsDaily

    RoxInbox records spam placement, bounces, throttling codes, and postmaster data where available, for every mailbox and provider.

  9. 9

    AdjustDaily

    The ramp updates daily. Clean signals speed it up, spam signals slow it down, and a high spam rate pauses the mailbox and sends you an alert.

  10. 10

    Reach the plateau and keep protecting

    At its working volume the mailbox moves to background warm-up at about 20-30% of its sending, with health scores, scheduled placement tests and alerts for as long as you send.

Network design

Why the network is hard to fingerprint.

Large providers can discount warm-up traffic when thousands of accounts talk to the same addresses on the same timings. RoxInbox is designed so that pattern never forms.

No single pool

The network is split into isolated segments of 500-1,000 mailboxes. A customer only ever touches a small part of it.

Real accounts with history

Network mailboxes live on real domains with websites, MX records and age, and carry ordinary mail beyond warm-up.

Varied content

LLM-written conversations of different lengths, languages and styles, with no templates or codes in subject lines, deduplicated across the whole network.

Human timing

Delays come from distributions, not constants. Mailboxes keep working hours in their time zone and take weekends and holidays.

Stable identity

One mailbox keeps one IP, region and client. A mailbox that jumps between IPs is a red flag to providers.

Many providers

No provider holds more than 40% of the network, so a crackdown by one can't wipe out everyone's reputation.
