Sidestep spam filters before you hit send

Start sending

SEG detection on recipient domains

Sendbox spots Secure Email Gateways before you send, so you're never going in blind.

Skip SEG-protected leads

Exclude SEG-protected leads from a campaign automatically if you'd rather not deal with the deliverability risk.

Route through specific mailboxes

Send SEG-protected domains through mailboxes you've designated, with different sending patterns.

Cleaner deliverability metrics

Handling SEG leads separately keeps your overall campaign numbers accurate.

pre-send checks

Catch the risk before it costs you a send

Start sending
  1. Step 1

    Domains get scanned first

    Before anything sends, Sendbox checks whether the recipient's domain sits behind a Secure Email Gateway.

  2. Step 2

    You choose the response

    Two options: skip SEG-protected leads automatically, or route them through mailboxes you've designated for that kind of handling.

  3. Step 3

    Keep your reputation intact

    SEG-protected domains are tougher to land in. Catching them upfront avoids wasted sends and keeps your deliverability numbers clean.

Where it fits

Prospecting into enterprise accounts

Enterprise domains often sit behind a SEG. Catch that upfront and decide whether to skip the lead or route it through a mailbox built for the job.

Protecting your deliverability numbers

SEG-protected domains tend to bounce and spam-flag more often. Skipping or isolating them keeps your overall metrics honest.

Routing SEG leads separately

Send SEG-protected domains through mailboxes with warmer reputations or different sending patterns to improve your odds.

Caught upfront, not diagnosed after the fact

Why teams switch

A Secure Email Gateway flagged before you hit send

Most cold email tools send blind and leave you guessing why deliverability suddenly dropped. Sendbox checks recipient domains for Secure Email Gateways ahead of time, so you can skip those leads entirely or route them through specific mailboxes instead.

Skip it or route it, your call

Once a SEG is detected on a recipient's domain, you get two options: skip the lead entirely, so they receive nothing from that campaign, or route them through mailboxes you've set aside for SEG handling.
