Effectively managing test email addresses and domains for client engagements requires a multifaceted approach. Key strategies include utilizing separate domains or subdomains to protect the primary domain's reputation, employing dedicated IP addresses for client isolation, and creating comprehensive test lists with seed addresses across various email providers. Shared domains are suitable for short-term engagements to minimize overhead. A pre-send checklist ensures all email elements are verified before deployment. DNS management, including the removal of domains post-engagement, is critical. Implementing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC enhances authentication and deliverability. Regularly cleaning test lists and monitoring bounces from unique test addresses aid in detecting and preventing rogue activities. Segmentation of test lists provides deeper deliverability insights. Warming up dedicated IPs is crucial for establishing a positive reputation.
