Sending Emails Is Easy. Getting Them Delivered Is Not.
Sending an email is trivial. Getting it reliably delivered to the inbox of the right person – across every major provider, at whatever volume your business sends, without triggering spam filters or damaging your domain reputation – is an entirely different challenge.
Most businesses only discover this distinction when something goes wrong. Open rates decline without explanation. A campaign generates no responses because it landed in spam folders nobody checks. Transactional emails stop arriving reliably and customers start complaining. A new domain gets flagged as suspicious the moment it starts sending at volume.
Every one of these situations has its roots in infrastructure; not in content, not in the sending platform, but in the foundational layer underneath. Yeevu builds that foundation correctly from the start.
02
Who This Is For
Businesses setting up professional email for the first time
who want to start with a correctly configured foundation rather than discovering what they missed when deliverability problems emerge months later.
Businesses separating marketing email from business email
by setting up a dedicated sending domain for campaigns and outreach, keeping their primary domain reputation protected from the higher spam complaint rates that come with high-volume sending.
Sales teams running cold outreach campaigns
at scale who need a sending infrastructure that supports high-volume prospecting without damaging the domain reputation that their business email depends on.
Marketing teams running email campaigns
through platforms like Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, or similar tools who want their sending infrastructure configured to maximize deliverability from the moment they start sending.
Businesses sending transactional email
— order confirmations, password resets, account notifications, booking confirmations — through platforms like SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, or Postmark, who need those emails to arrive reliably every time regardless of volume or timing.
Businesses that have experienced deliverability problems
with an existing email setup and want the infrastructure reviewed, corrected, and properly configured going forward.
Businesses launching a new product, brand, or domain
who need sending infrastructure in place and warmed up before their first campaign goes out.

What We Set Up
Sending Domain and Subdomain Architecture
Where your use case requires it, we set up dedicated sending domains or subdomains for marketing, outreach, or transactional email — keeping sending reputations separated so that higher-volume or higher-complaint-rate activity cannot damage your primary business email domain.
SPF Configuration
Every server and service authorised to send on behalf of your domain — correctly structured to avoid lookup limit failures and cover all sending sources without creating conflicts.
DKIM Configuration
Cryptographic signing configured for every platform sending email from your domain. Keys generated, DNS records published, and signing validated across the full sending infrastructure.
DMARC Configuration and Reporting
Policy configured at the appropriate enforcement level for your current setup, with a clear path toward stricter enforcement as the infrastructure matures. Reporting set up so authentication failures and potential spoofing activity are visible and actionable.
Email Service Provider Setup
SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Postmark, or your chosen ESP configured within the overall infrastructure: domain authentication, IP pool configuration, bounce and complaint handling, and platform-to-application connection.
Business Email Platform Configuration
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 correctly configured within the broader sending infrastructure, with day-to-day business email properly authenticated and separated from higher-volume sending activity.
BIMI Configuration
Where your setup meets the requirements and the use case justifies it, we configure Brand Indicators for Message Identification so your logo appears beside your emails in supporting inbox clients.
Inbox Warm-Up Planning and Execution
For new domains, new IP addresses, or inactive sending infrastructure, we develop and execute a structured warm-up plan that builds sending volume gradually before full-scale sending begins. Skipping or botching warm-up creates deliverability problems that take months to recover from.
Inbox Placement Testing
Once configuration is complete, we test inbox placement across Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo before any live sending begins.

Our Email Infrastructure Setup Process
- Discovery and Infrastructure Design Kick-off call covering your current email setup, sending platforms, volumes, and use cases. Assessment of existing DNS records and any current authentication configuration. Infrastructure design produced covering sending domains, authentication architecture, platform connections, and warm-up requirements.
- DNS Configuration and Authentication Setup Sending domain and subdomain registration and DNS configuration where required. SPF record configuration covering all sending sources. DKIM key generation, platform configuration, and DNS record publication. DMARC policy configuration and reporting setup. BIMI configuration where applicable.
- Platform Configuration and Integration Business email platform configuration within the infrastructure. Email service provider setup and domain authentication. Marketing platform and CRM sending configuration. Bounce and complaint handling setup across all platforms.
- Testing, Validation, and Warm-Up Initiation Full authentication validation across SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Inbox placement testing across major providers. Any issues identified during testing resolved before sign-off. Warm-up plan initiated for new domains or IP addresses where required, with monitoring in place throughout the warm-up period.
- Documentation and Handover Complete infrastructure documentation produced and delivered. Handover session covering the infrastructure architecture, how to manage future changes correctly, and what to monitor on an ongoing basis.
Timelilnes
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the sending infrastructure, the number of platforms involved, and whether a warm-up period is required. Standard setups are typically completed within five to ten business days. Complex multi-domain or multi-platform builds, and engagements that include a managed warm-up period, are scoped individually.
05
Deliverables
Fully configured sending infrastructure across all active sending sources. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validated across all sending domains. Dedicated sending domains set up where appropriate. ESP configured, authenticated, and tested. Inbox placement confirmed before go-live. DMARC reporting active. Warm-up plan initiated and monitored where required. Complete infrastructure documentation.

Why Businesses Choose Yeevu for Email Infrastructure Setup
We understand the full authentication stack.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are not independent checkboxes. They are interdependent layers that need to be configured in alignment with each other and with the actual sending infrastructure they are meant to authenticate. We configure all three layers correctly, in the right sequence, and validate alignment across the full infrastructure before any live sending begins.
We map every sending source before configuring anything.
The most common SPF and DKIM configuration mistakes happen because the person doing the configuration does not have a complete picture of every source that sends email on behalf of the domain. We start every engagement by mapping all sending sources and designing the authentication architecture around the complete picture rather than just the most obvious components.
We treat warm-up as a serious process.
A domain or IP address warm-up done incorrectly or skipped entirely creates deliverability problems that can take months to recover from. We approach warm-up with the same rigour we apply to authentication configuration — planned, monitored, and adjusted based on the engagement signals we observe throughout the process.
We separate sending reputations correctly.
Marketing email, cold outreach, transactional email, and business email carry different risk profiles and should operate from different sending domains or subdomains to protect each reputation from the others. We design infrastructure that reflects this from the start rather than leaving reputation separation as something to address after a problem has already occurred.
We document everything and explain it clearly.
Email infrastructure that is correctly configured but undocumented creates the same long-term problem as infrastructure that was never configured correctly. Future changes made without understanding the existing setup break things that were working. We hand over documentation that gives your team genuine understanding of what is in place and how to manage it going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between business email setup and email infrastructure setup?
Business email setup refers specifically to configuring a platform like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for your team to send and receive email. Email infrastructure setup covers the complete layer underneath that — the DNS authentication records, sending domains, transactional email platforms, marketing sending configuration, reputation separation, and warm-up processes that determine whether all of your email, not just your business email, reaches inboxes reliably.
Do we need a separate sending domain for marketing email?
For businesses sending marketing email or cold outreach at meaningful volume, yes. Sending high-volume campaigns from your primary domain exposes it to the spam complaint rates that come with marketing email and risks damaging the reputation your day-to-day business communication depends on.
How long does email warm-up take?
A domain warming up to moderate marketing volumes typically requires four to eight weeks of structured sending before full volume can be reached safely. We design warm-up schedules based on your target volumes and monitor deliverability signals throughout.
Which transactional email platforms do you work with?
SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Postmark, and other major platforms. Platform recommendations are based on your sending volumes, reliability requirements, integration needs, and budget.
What happens to our existing email during the infrastructure setup?
For businesses with existing email in operation, infrastructure setup changes are made carefully to avoid disrupting live email delivery. DNS changes are sequenced and timed to maintain continuity throughout the process. We do not make changes to live sending infrastructure without a clear plan for maintaining deliverability during the transition.
Can you fix an existing infrastructure that is not performing well?
Yes. The starting point is a full audit of the current configuration to identify exactly what is misconfigured, missing, or conflicting before any changes are made.
Do you provide ongoing support after the infrastructure is set up?
The engagement includes a post-setup support window for issues that arise in the period immediately following go-live. For ongoing monitoring, deliverability management, and infrastructure support beyond that period, our Email Deliverability Audit and Technical Support services cover continued engagement with your email infrastructure.
How much does email infrastructure setup cost?
Pricing depends on how many domains, mailboxes, and sending platforms the setup covers — a single-brand outbound stack is a very different project from a multi-brand transactional environment. Tell us what you send and you will have the full cost in a written quote before any work begins.
Can you build email infrastructure for cold outreach?
Yes. Outbound senders get dedicated sending domains that protect your primary domain’s reputation, correctly authenticated mailboxes, a warm-up schedule planned before volume ramps, and monitoring so problems surface early.
