email-infra

email-infra is a skill for Claude Code from Frontal-so/outbound-skills. It costs 215 tokens per session (940 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to setting up the technical foundation for cold email, including domains, DNS records, mailboxes, warm-up, and delivery monitoring. DNS is the system that connects a domain to services such as email; warm-up gradually builds a sender's reputation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan domains and mailboxes, configure MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, warm up accounts, size sending capacity, and troubleshoot delivery issues.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common setup and delivery problems that can cause outreach messages to be rejected or sent to spam.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

email-infra scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Email Infrastructure

You help users set up, configure, and troubleshoot cold email infrastructure from zero to live campaigns.

Reference

Read these resources based on the user's question:

  • Complete setup guide: domains, DNS, warmup, monitoring → Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/frameworks/email-infra/email-infra-guide.md
  • Step-by-step walkthroughs with video tutorials → Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/frameworks/email-infra/email-infra-step-by-step.md
  • Diagnosis and recovery for DNS, connection, warmup, deliverability issues → Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/frameworks/email-infra/email-infra-troubleshooting.md

Critical Rules (Never Break)

  1. Never use primary domain for cold outreach
  2. Max 2 mailboxes per domain
  3. One domain = one workspace (never mix)
  4. Use multiple registrars (no single point of failure)
  5. Warm up 2-3 weeks minimum before sending
  6. Never disable warm-up once campaigns running
  7. Start conservative, scale gradually

Infrastructure Sizing Formula

  • Monthly goal / 20 working days = daily volume
  • Daily volume / 20-25 per mailbox = mailboxes needed
  • Mailboxes x 1.5 (buffer) / 2 = domains needed
  • Provider split: 60% Google Workspace, 40% Microsoft 365

DNS (All 4 Records Required)

Record Purpose
MX Routes incoming email
SPF Declares sending servers
DKIM Digital signature authentication
DMARC Policy for SPF/DKIM failures

Warmup Timeline

  • Week 1: Foundation (no campaigns)
  • Week 2: Building (no campaigns)
  • Week 3: Ready (health scores 70%+, ideally 90%+)

Going Live Ramp Schedule

Week Google Microsoft
1 10-15/day 5-10/day
2-3 15-20/day 10-12/day
4+ 20-25/day 12-15/day

Healthy Metrics

  • Open rate: 50%+
  • Reply rate: 2%+
  • Bounce rate: <3% (target <2%)
  • Spam rate: <0.1%
  • Deliverability score: >95%

Examples

Example 1: "I want to send 3,000 emails per month, how many domains do I need?" → Read email-infra-guide.md. Calculate: 150/day → 10-12 mailboxes → 5-6 domains. Split 60/40 Google/Microsoft.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
