When you send a cold email (initiating a thread or first email to someone) does it land in the recipients inbox or spam?

This was what eventually broke my self hosting plan.. too many emails sent and never received.

And the worst part is this stuff is damn near undetectable.

Maybe my buddy hasn't responded because he's got a lot going on at work at the moment. Or maybe my DKIM/DMARC records aren't playing well with his mail forwarder. Pretty difficult for me to tell - I'm not in the habit of phoning someone to tell them I sent them an e-mail.

Nope. Not in the last 2 years. Hotmail in the first days and gmail now if you send a dozen emails at once but not otherwise
