We build email infrastructure for senders who cannot afford delivery failure

We are a team of email infrastructure engineers based in Europe. Since 2015 we have operated dedicated SMTP relay clusters, PowerMTA deployments, and IP warming programs for high-volume senders across Europe and globally. No shared pools. No dashboards that hide what is actually happening. Infrastructure operated with full visibility, daily monitoring, and an engineer accountable when something breaks.

We started because we kept fixing infrastructure that should never have broken

In 2015, two engineers who had spent years managing email delivery systems for large European senders noticed a recurring pattern. Clients were experiencing serious deliverability problems — IPs on blocklists, DKIM misconfigurations, ISP deferrals nobody was monitoring — not because of bad practice, but because their infrastructure was either unmanaged or managed by teams that did not specialize in email.

Shared ESP platforms were the obvious alternative, but they came with structural problems: IP pools shared with thousands of other senders, limited configuration control, and the reality that when your sender reputation suffers because of a co-tenant, you have no visibility into why and no lever to pull to fix it.

The answer we kept arriving at was dedicated infrastructure — your own IPs, your own PowerMTA configuration, your own DKIM keys, your own reputation history. But managing dedicated infrastructure properly requires a level of specialization that most organizations do not maintain internally. ISP relationships, SNDS monitoring, FBL processing, bounce pattern classification, per-domain throttle configuration — these are full-time operational disciplines, not setup-once tasks.

So we built what we wanted to exist: a managed email infrastructure service that operates your dedicated infrastructure with the same technical depth as an internal team, at a cost structure that makes sense for high-volume European senders who need reliability without building an internal operations function to achieve it.

Nine years later, we operate infrastructure for senders across the EU, UK, and globally — from SaaS companies sending transactional notifications to publishers running weekly newsletters to performance marketers operating at scale. The common thread is volume and the need for consistent, reliable delivery that does not degrade without warning and does not require the client to become an email infrastructure expert to sustain it.

What we actually do — and what we don't

We are an infrastructure company. That distinction matters. We do not build email marketing software. We do not design campaigns. We do not offer template editors or audience segmentation tools. We operate the layer underneath all of that: the servers, the IP pools, the MTA configuration, the authentication records, the monitoring, and the deliverability management.

Specifically, we operate:

  • Managed SMTP relay — PowerMTA 6.x clusters on dedicated Linux servers with per-client IP assignment, DKIM signing per sending domain, and ISP-specific throttle configuration for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and major EU providers including GMX, Web.de, OVH, and La Poste.
  • IP warming programs — Structured warm-up schedules that introduce new IPs to ISP filtering systems progressively, with daily monitoring of reputation signals and adjustment of volume ramps based on actual ISP feedback — not calendar schedules that ignore what the ISPs are actually saying.
  • Dedicated server environments — For clients who want full PowerMTA or MailWizz control. We provision, configure, monitor, and maintain the environment. The client owns the sending; we own the infrastructure reliability.
  • Deliverability consulting and audits — When delivery is already broken, we identify why. Authentication misconfigurations, IP reputation damage, content patterns that trigger ISP filters, list hygiene problems — we diagnose the actual cause and fix it at the infrastructure layer.
  • API-compatible relay layer — Mailgun v3 and SendGrid Web API v3 compatible endpoints that allow clients to migrate from commercial ESPs without changing application code. Same parameter names, same webhook structure, same response format.

What we do not do: manage your contact lists, write your email content, advise on campaign strategy, or accept clients whose use cases involve sending without clear consent. Infrastructure expertise is not a workaround for poor practice — it is an amplifier of good practice. We vet every client before onboarding because our IP pool reputation affects every client we operate.

Eight principles we operate by

These are not values statements on a wall. They are operational commitments that affect how we work with every client, every day — and that clients can hold us to.

  • 1

    Transparency over comfort

    We tell clients when their list quality is the problem, when their content is triggering filters, and when the infrastructure we operate is not the limiting factor. Honest diagnosis serves clients better than reassurance, even when the answer is harder to hear. Our client relationships are built on trust in our analysis, not satisfaction with our messaging.

  • 2

    No shared IP pools

    Every client sends from IPs assigned exclusively to their traffic. This is not a premium feature — it is the baseline we operate from. IP reputation is the foundation of inbox placement. Shared pools mean shared consequences. We do not offer shared pools because they represent a structural compromise on the one thing that matters most.

  • 3

    Daily monitoring is not optional

    ISP behavior changes continuously. A configuration that produces 97% inbox placement this month may produce 82% next month if nobody is watching. We monitor Google Postmaster Tools, Microsoft SNDS, and 50+ DNSBL providers for every client, every day. When something changes, we act before the client notices — not after they report it.

  • 4

    Same-day response to delivery incidents

    Email infrastructure problems compound hourly. Our SLA commits to a 2-hour response for P1 incidents. When something breaks, you reach an engineer who can fix it, not a support queue that escalates to one. We have never missed a P1 response time commitment since formalizing the protocol in 2020.

  • 5

    We do not oversell capacity

    We take on new clients when we have infrastructure capacity to onboard them properly. IP warming is time-constrained — you cannot compress an 8-week warm-up into two weeks without damaging the reputation you are building. When we commit to an onboarding timeline, we mean it. We have turned down clients whose timelines were incompatible with proper onboarding.

  • 6

    Data residency flexibility for every region

    Our infrastructure is operated from our datacenter at Tornimae 5, Tallinn, Estonia. Email logs, suppression lists, authentication keys, and client data are stored and processed entirely within EU jurisdiction. For clients operating under GDPR, this is not a preference — it is a compliance requirement. We handle Data Processing Agreements as a standard part of onboarding, not a special request.

  • 7

    We vet every client

    Our IP pool reputation is a shared asset. Every client we onboard affects every other client's delivery environment. We review sending use case, list acquisition methodology, historical complaint rates, and content type before accepting a client. We decline clients whose practices would damage the infrastructure we operate for existing clients.

  • 8

    Post-mortems for every incident

    When something goes wrong, we write a post-mortem that explains what happened, why it happened, and what we changed. These are available to affected clients and published in anonymized form on our status page. Accountability requires documented learning, not just closed tickets.

How we got here

Nine years of operating dedicated email infrastructure. Each entry below represents a real operational change — not a product launch or a rebrand.

2015

Founded in Europe

Two engineers begin operating managed PowerMTA infrastructure for a small group of European e-commerce senders. First three clients: a German fashion retailer, an Europen SaaS company, and a UK-based publisher. Monthly volume: approximately 12 million emails.

2017

IP warming program formalized

Built structured IP warming methodology based on ISP response patterns from the first year of operations. First client to complete a full warm-up from cold IPs: a Netherlands-based e-commerce platform. Protocol became the foundation for every onboarding thereafter.

2018

MailWizz managed hosting added

Added managed MailWizz hosting for clients who wanted a complete sending environment. Monthly volume crossed 500 million emails. First migrations from Mailchimp and SendGrid completed without delivery interruption.

2019

GDPR compliance framework

Introduced DPA agreements as standard part of onboarding. Established our own datacenter operations in Tallinn, Estonia, with EU data residency for GDPR compliance. Retained CIPP/E certified specialist. All clients migrated to compliant architecture before enforcement deadline.

2020

Daily monitoring protocol established

Formalized the monitoring cycle that every client environment now receives: Google Postmaster Tools review, Microsoft SNDS verification, DNSBL scan, FBL queue review. Before 2020, monitoring was thorough but informal. After 2020: documented, auditable, and consistent.

2021

Cold email infrastructure launched

Launched dedicated infrastructure tier for cold outreach senders — a technically distinct use case from bulk or transactional sending, requiring IP rotation, domain warming, and engagement-based throttling. Offshore infrastructure options added for specific jurisdictional requirements.

2022

API compatibility layer introduced

Built Mailgun v3 and SendGrid Web API v3 compatible endpoints on our SMTP relay. Clients switch from commercial ESPs without changing application code. First 20 migrations completed in Q3 2022 — average migration time: 4 hours.

2023

Intelligence Bounce™ classification

Deployed proprietary bounce classification engine categorizing responses from 200+ ISPs into actionable categories: permanent, transient, policy-based, reputation-based, content-based. Automated suppression decisions that protect IP reputation without manual intervention.

2024

Google & Microsoft requirement compliance

Google's February 2024 bulk sender requirements and Microsoft's updated Defender policies required significant configuration updates. We completed all required changes for every managed client before enforcement deadlines — DMARC p=quarantine minimum, one-click unsubscribe, BIMI preparation.

2025–2026

8 billion emails per month

Current scale: 8 billion emails per month across 30,000+ dedicated IPs across 30+ /21 pools in multiple EU regions. 99.98% SMTP relay uptime over the past 12 months. Zero clients lost to compliance issues. Team expanding to support continued growth across EU, UK, and global markets.

What we actually believe about email infrastructure

These are positions arrived at from nine years of operating high-volume email infrastructure. Not marketing statements — conclusions from seeing what works and what does not.

Dedicated IPs are not a luxury

At volume, shared IP pools create a dependency on strangers' sending practices. When a co-tenant's complaint rate spikes, your delivery suffers. Dedicated IPs eliminate this dependency. They require proper warm-up and monitoring to maintain, but they give you full control over the most important variable in email delivery: your sending reputation.

Inbox rate is a lagging indicator

By the time inbox placement drops visibly, the reputation signal that caused it was generated days or weeks earlier. Effective infrastructure management works on leading indicators — complaint rate trends, SNDS color changes, DNSBL listing velocity — not the inbox rate metric itself. Reactive management is steering by the rear-view mirror.

MTA configuration is not a one-time task

ISPs update their filtering behavior continuously. The throttle settings and retry logic that produced reliable delivery 12 months ago may be suboptimal today. PowerMTA configuration files require regular review against current ISP requirements — not configuration and then silence for years.

Authentication is table stakes in 2026

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the minimum viable configuration — not advanced features. Google's February 2024 requirements made DMARC mandatory for bulk senders. Environments still running without DMARC at p=quarantine are operating on borrowed time.

List quality determines infrastructure ceiling

The best-configured dedicated infrastructure will not overcome consistently poor list quality. High complaint rates, hard bounce rates above 2%, or engagement below 5% will damage IP reputation regardless of authentication status. Infrastructure is the amplifier; list quality is the signal. Both have to be right.

EU senders need EU infrastructure

GDPR's data minimization requirements, combined with Schrems II restrictions on US transfers, create real compliance risk for EU senders using US-based ESP infrastructure. EU-based dedicated infrastructure with explicit data residency is not just a preference — it is a compliance architecture decision.

GDPR compliance and EU data residency

We are a company with operations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. Our infrastructure spans EU, Americas, and Asia-Pacific data centers. We are subject to GDPR as both a data controller (for our own operations) and a data processor (for client sending data we handle on their behalf).

Every client onboarding includes a Data Processing Agreement that specifies categories of personal data we process, purposes of processing, retention periods, and the sub-processors we use. This is not a generic template — it reflects the actual processing we perform for each client environment.

EU data residencyAll email logs, suppression lists, and sending data stored in our Tallinn, Estonia datacenter only
Standard DPA includedData Processing Agreement provided as standard with every managed infrastructure contract
No US data transfersNo email data transferred to US-based processors — fully Schrems II compliant
CIPP/E certified teamCertified International Privacy Professional (Europe) on staff for ongoing compliance
45-day log retention maximumEmail delivery logs retained for 45 days; suppression lists maintained per client instruction
Sub-processor transparencyFull sub-processor list disclosed in DPA. Client notification required before additions

If your legal or compliance team needs additional documentation before onboarding — security assessments, sub-processor lists, data flow diagrams — contact us. We handle these requests as a standard part of enterprise onboarding.

How to work with us

Our onboarding process starts with a technical assessment — not a sales call. We want to understand your current infrastructure, sending volume, traffic types, ISP distribution, authentication status, and what is not working before we propose a solution.

Most clients come to us in one of three situations:

📉

Deliverability is degrading

Inbox rates declining, ISP deferrals increasing, complaint rates rising. Something changed and it is not clear what. We diagnose and fix.

📈

Volume past shared ESP limits

Outgrowing shared infrastructure pricing or quality. Ready for dedicated IPs and more control. We migrate without delivery interruption.

🚀

Starting at scale from scratch

New sending operation that needs to be built correctly from the start, with warm-up, authentication, and monitoring in place from day one.

The technical assessment call is typically 45–60 minutes. You speak with an infrastructure engineer — not a sales representative. If we can help, we will tell you specifically how. If the problem is outside our scope or your use case is not a fit for managed dedicated infrastructure, we will tell you that too.
