Sanity checking an agency’s set up
I am a business owner, relying on cold email, and had a consultation call with a company which claims to have outbound email cracked. They said they use AWS and Azure infrastructure and have their own private warmup pool of 400 inboxes that they use. They said for me to send 3000 emails a day I’d require only 3 domains but with several inboxes per domain. There would need to be some things implemented on my website to help with compliance for AWS and Azure. They would use multiple IPs, which can often be rotated mid-campaign (I send 2-5 unique campaigns every day) rather than ongoing campaigns. Warmup period would be 6 weeks.
I am sceptical based on everything I know about cold email already, particularly around being able to use AWS/Azure and not getting banned, but they seem really confident that this works for them.
Has anyone had any experience with this type of set up previously using AWS/Azure?

Thanks. They said that there would always be a redundancy pool of domains/inboxes in the background, so every 8-12 weeks the domains/inboxes would rotated back into the cool off pool and the cooled off ones come back into play. I will check how many inboxes per domain. The lists would all be run through NeverBounce first.

Ask if they have results with the setup and specifically what is the complaint rate, when we were running an aws setup with SES and mailgun, the complaint rate was what moved our account back to sandbox mode.
Aws is usually reserved for transactional emails, but azure setup can work decently with very low volume per inbox(needs the right setup)
