Hi Forum,
I’m currently building my first official email campaign. While I have some experience with sending emails and am familiar with SMTP/IMAP, I want to ensure that my approach is effective and compliant with best practices.
I’ve educated myself on email warm-up and sender reputation, and I’m using reputable domains sourced from ExpiredDomains (.net) for my sending domains. However, I have a question regarding the links I plan to include in my emails.
Here’s my proposed approach:
-
The URLs in the HTML of the email will be non-obfuscated domains from expired domains for good domain aged reputation, which may appear unattractive (e.g., “bsivi.site”). However, this will not be visible to users, as they will see a “View Offer” button instead.
-
Upon clicking the link, I will implement a 302 redirect. During this redirect, I plan to execute JavaScript challenges ( not visible to targers ) to filter out common bot detection mechanisms.
-
After the successful redirect, users will land on my main phish page, which will include a Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA to further filter out bots.
My main concern is whether this approach could lead to my emails being flagged as spam or if my main page could be flagged by email platforms like Google and Outlook. I hope this method allows me to quickly replace any flagged redirecting URLs, ensuring the continuity of my operation.
Is my approach sound, or are there better practices I should consider to avoid being flagged?
Thank you for your insights!
