PROMPT

Create a skill called "Deliverability Watchdog". Monitor these sending domains and mailboxes: [list domains]. Daily, check: DMARC/SPF/DKIM configuration and alignment, domain reputation scores, blacklist status across major blocklists, bounce rates by domain and mailbox, and warm-up progress for new domains. Alert me immediately if: any domain lands on a blacklist, bounce rate exceeds 5%, or authentication records change unexpectedly. Weekly summary: overall health score per domain, volume sent, bounce rate trends, and recommended actions. Include remediation steps for any issues found.

How It Works

The skill continuously monitors the health of your email sending infrastructure.

DMARC, SPF, DKIM alignment, blacklist checks, and bounce-rate trends are reviewed on a schedule so you can spot issues before they become painful.

What You Get

  • Daily health check on all sending domains and mailboxes
  • Authentication verification (DMARC, SPF, DKIM alignment)
  • Blacklist monitoring across major blocklists
  • Bounce rate tracking by domain and mailbox
  • Warm-up progress tracking for new domains
  • Remediation playbooks when issues are detected

Setup Steps

  1. List all your sending domains and mailboxes
  2. Configure alert thresholds (e.g., alert if bounce rate > 5%)
  3. Set check frequency (daily recommended)
  4. Connect notification channel (Slack, Telegram, or email)

Tips

  • Check domain health before launching any new campaign
  • Rotate domains before they burn — don't wait for blacklisting
  • Keep per-mailbox volume under 50/day for cold outreach
  • New domains need 2-4 weeks warm-up — the skill tracks progress automatically
