Because of InboxAlly, we are out of "Spam Jail" in just two weeks. This helped us to scale our campaigns and improve our open rate from ~30% to 70%+.

InboxAlly teaches inbox providers (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.) to understand that the emails you send from your domain are important and valued by your recipients.

I have yet to encounter any hiccups with their services. I send a large volume of emails monthly and have yet to experience any delay in my work.

Helps improve sender reputation through simulated interactions like clicks, replies, and "not spam" feedback to mailbox providers. It Uses a behavioral training model to seed email accounts simulate real engagement such as opens, clicks, replies, and “not spam” marks to build sender reputation with inbox providers. It can easily be integrated with Gmail, Yahoo mail etc.

Office 365 does use secure non-standard ports for SMTP connectivity causing a problem with older programs. SMTP Email Delivery from Exchange solves this problem by giving the network admin full control over ports and specific program connections. While we do use both Office 365 and the SMTP Email Delivery we find that a mix is needed in order to meet all expectations for our end users. The majority of our SMTP communications, for users, go through Office 365 while the majority of our applications and servers do go through the SMTP Email Delivery service.
