Drop
Deliverability

Your domain.Your reputation.

Drop sends through your own sending account from your own verified domain. Nobody else’s spam affects whether your email arrives, and if you ever leave, the reputation you built goes with you.

How it works.

Set up without knowing what DKIM is

Four records, copy buttons, and a check that tells you when they have taken effect.

Copy-paste records
The long ones have a copy button, because mistyping one breaks email silently.
A live check
Drop asks your DNS directly rather than telling you to wait and hope.
Plain explanations
What each record is for, in one sentence, if you want to know.

The rules Gmail actually enforces

Bulk sender requirements changed and most small senders never noticed.

One-click unsubscribe headers
List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post on every marketing send.
A visible unsubscribe link
In the footer of every email, and not removable.
DMARC guidance
Start at monitoring, tighten when you can see it is safe.

Numbers you can trust, labelled when you cannot

Open rates have been unreliable since Apple Mail Privacy Protection started opening mail on people’s behalf.

Delivered, bounced, clicked
The measurements that still mean something.
Open rate, marked
Shown because you will look for it, labelled because it is inflated.
No vanity dashboard
Four numbers that change what you do next.

Send the next one.

The hardest email to send is the one after the last one you never sent.
