how to email millions of people/day

[Jin tanner]

I have been working for a direct email marketing company for a few months now. I decided to share the process of sending dozens of millions of emails a day with you, hoping that I will find somebody with the resources necessary to help me open my own company.
Here goes:

1. You need a block of random text that will trick the email providers into letting you in. This block of text is shared between multiple direct email marketing companies.
2. You need a software that will rotate the ips and encode the actual email (body, from, subject). As of now, I am not yet willing to share the name of the software.
3. You need lots of ips. And I mean lots. We use one C class block, which is 254 ips (for some reason unknown to me .0 .1 and .255 are reserved – we only use .2 to .254) to send 800.000 to 1 million in Inbox or 1.5 – 2 million in Junk. We are able to send 70-80 million in Junk or half that number in Inbox a day (we have a few employers)
4. You need domains. I usually to through 3 domains/day for junk and 1 domain for every million in Inbox.

We are probably asking yourself why we send junk. One reason is that junk also generates revenue.

   The second reason why we mail junk is because the ips have reputation. Let’s say we use one ip to mail inbox. The ip will eventually get blocked. By blocked I mean you won’t be able to use the ip to mail inbox or junk. After a few days, the email provided will release the ip but they will flag it for junk. This means that if you use this ip, you won’t be able to mail into inbox, but to junk. We keep mailing junk with the ip, and its reputation will increase because nobody will report the ip (people only report emails that arrive in inbox, not junk). Therefore, the reputation of the ip will increase, and the ip will eventually be released for inbox. The ip will eventually be released for inbox even if you don’t mail junk with it. But an ip with a high reputation will be released faster than an ip with a low reputation.
        If you have a different method that works, or you are able to pitch in with some ips, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Unflagging of the IPs that get their mails sent to junk in time -just because they aren't reported anymore- sounds very odd.

And that block of text... I am wondering if I may have gotten it with some of the spammy messages that landed in my inbox.

isn't spamming against the law ?

Depends if their opt-in and if your responding with that they opt-in to.

If their just random emails and your spamming anything and everything , then , yes it is illegal , but if your **responding** to what they opt-in to , then its not illegal , as long as your responding with what they opt-in to

This is not completely true. Under Can-Spam you can send email to ANYONE until they tell you not to. You have to provide a means for them to OPT out, and you have a 10 day grace period to abide. You have to have your postal address in the email, and label it as an advertisement.

The way you manufactured your email list also comes into play, as well as the other sneaky stuff that doesn't apply to average no-nothings like me.

The can spam law is very broadly defined. So, there is many grey areas, and you can't say anything is right or wrong-it all depends on how determined the government is to get you, and how good is your lawyer.

see the way I look at it ( white hat ), is to not push beyond the broad rules of the law, I have very good lawyers, but the goal is not to have to call them.

so, I loose people at the end of 18 month, guess what, it's part of the business. also, it is not subject to interpretation, if after 18 months from the last contact to you, they are dead, no loop hole, this part of the act comes right from the telephone side of the marketing business and they have better lawyers than anyone else.

You are correct on some of the other leeway's within the act. but the above is set in stone.

Id probably recommend to make sure youre sending email through your SMTP server, to make sure it has less chances of getting marked as spam. Other than that, I believe that you have to take into account people marking your domain as spam, as this usually alerts email providers that your domain should be flagged as spam.
