A DACH CRM agency removed 13% of risky addresses before warming up client domains

Their D2C e-commerce clients arrived with legacy lists of unknown quality. A pre-warm-up verification pass made sender warm-up actually work.

What was breaking

New client onboarding always started the same way: the client handed over a list, the agency tried to warm up a new sending domain, and the warm-up stalled because the list was a graveyard. The agency's playbook depended on first-week deliverability; bad lists meant a slow, painful start.

How emailzeno fit the workflow

Every client onboarding now begins with an emailzeno batch pass. The output: a clean cohort for warm-up, a risky cohort for low-frequency re-engagement, and a dead cohort that's suppressed. Warm-up sequences run only on the clean cohort. Quarterly re-verification keeps the segments honest as lists age.

What changed

Average client warm-up time fell. Inbox placement on the major German free-mail providers held steady through every warm-up. The agency stopped losing client renewals because of slow first-quarter results.

“Clients judge us on the first month. Verification is the only thing that consistently makes the first month look the way the proposal promised.”
