esp matching

Match the provider, improve the placement

Sendbox figures out each recipient's email provider through domain lookup and MX records, then sends through a mailbox on that same provider — Gmail recipients get a Gmail sender, Outlook recipients get an Outlook sender. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple, and custom domains are all supported.

routing features

The right mailbox for every provider, every time

Provider detection via MX records

Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple, and custom providers all get detected automatically through domain lookup and MX analysis.

Automatic matching

In auto mode, every email routes through a sender on the same provider as the recipient.

Three modes

Disabled, auto, or custom rules with priority — pick whatever level of control fits your workflow.

Better inbox placement

Same-provider delivery improves the odds of landing in primary instead of spam or promotions.

Providers and mailboxes matched automatically

Sendbox identifies the ESP

Domain lookup combined with MX record analysis works out whether a lead sits on Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple, or something custom.

Routes to a matching sender

A Gmail lead gets sent from one of your Gmail mailboxes, an Outlook lead from an Outlook mailbox — improving the odds of landing in the inbox.

Pick your matching mode

Three options: disabled (no matching at all), auto (Sendbox handles it), or custom rules with priority settings for finer control.

Landing in the Gmail primary tab

Gmail-to-Gmail delivery tends to land in primary more consistently. ESP matching routes your Gmail leads through Gmail senders without you having to think about it.

Running mixed Gmail/Outlook campaigns

With both Gmail and Outlook mailboxes connected, ESP matching assigns each lead to the best-fit sender automatically.

Setting up custom routing

For advanced setups, write custom rules with priority to route specific domains through specific mailboxes with full control.

Sending that knows the provider, not a blind relay

ESP detection and matching, handled automatically

Sendbox reads MX records to detect each recipient's provider and routes through a matching mailbox — Gmail leads get Gmail senders, Outlook leads get Outlook senders. Choose between disabled, auto, or custom rules with priority.

MX record detection across the major providers

Sendbox reads domain and MX records to identify Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple, and custom email providers. Matching runs automatically in auto mode, or you can define custom rules with your own priority settings.
