I usually send around 21 emails per day from one mailbox, divided into 7 new emails and 14 follow-ups. This setup works well for me. I send different types of emails and usually get a good number of replies. However, some of my emails are currently landing in spam. What are the best Instantly settings I should use to improve deliverability and avoid emails going to spam? I’m already sending a relatively low number of emails compared to the usual limits, so I’d like to understand what settings I should adjust.

[RESOURCES FROM THE VIDEO ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST] If you learned list building from any of my videos before 2026, erase it. Everything I taught you about lead databases is now wrong. Apollo is a good database. 250 million leads, great filters, pre-verified emails. But the prices are high, the export limits are low, and cold email at real volume needs a massive amount of data. Here's what I use now: 1. GetLeads for the data. There's no dashboard. You query it through their API from Claude Code or Codex, and it's unlimited for a flat fee. $249 a month on the partner plan, and that plan won't be around long. 2. Supabase to store it. I have tens of millions of records in there for about $20 a month. Cancel the data provider and the data is still yours. Try that with Apollo. 3. Reacher to verify it. Open source, 10,000 emails a day for free. Don't trust any database's emails, including mine. Want signal data too? Clay's Audiences give you people with job changes, funding and hiring signals. Everything except the email. Run those rows through GetLeads inside a Clay table and you get the email without paying Clay to waterfall it. You need their Growth plan for that part.
