SMTP relays, MTAs, IPs, DNS and reputation are things I have configured and kept running myself for more than eleven years, since 2014 as a server engineer with Octotech Solutions and since 2016 for MailSenpai, today also for SMTP Senpai. I bring the same work to your sending, because your domain’s reputation is yours and has to be built properly.
The path of an email
Between clicking send and the reader’s inbox there are at least six hops, and at each one something can go wrong without anyone noticing. I work on all of them.
Over the years I have sent billions of emails, to inboxes in almost every part of the world. I have learned that every mailbox provider has to be treated in its own way, with rules that change over time and have to be followed one by one, so as not to get stuck first on delivery and then on inbox placement.
Skills
Domain check
Enter the domain you send from. I read the public DNS records in real time, count the SPF lookups the way providers do and explain in plain words what is fine and what is not. I do not save the domain or the result.
Domain report yourcompany.com
The report appears here, row by row, as soon as the DNS answers.
Want a broader check? MailSenpai’s full DNS check also sends you the report by email, and the other free tools check blacklists, spam and headers. If you would rather I looked at it, tell me about your case.
Consulting
For companies and SaaS that send from their own servers or at high volumes, for agencies that manage sending for several clients and for e-commerce. The first reply is free, then we start with the deliverability analysis, which is paid, and there is no commitment until you accept the proposal.
Projects
Italian services, with servers and data in the European Union, born from the same idea. Emails have to arrive, and whoever sends them must be able to reach a person who knows the trade.

Career
I started with networks and servers and arrived at email, which became my job. I learned deliverability in the hardest segment, affiliate marketing, where millions of emails are sent every day and a technical mistake costs you straight away. Since then I have sent billions of emails, to almost every part of the world.
Today I lead MailSenpai, SMTP Senpai and DataSenpai, three services and 14 professionals, 5 of them in the team, and I still personally look after the technical side.
From 2007 to 2012
With the Cisco CCNA Discovery certification, Trinity B1 English and the ECDL.
SMTP relays, MTAs for bulk sending, MySQL, DNS, hosting, mail servers and virtualisation.
We start by helping large media agencies send messages that matter.
The service opens up to businesses and consumers and the platform becomes MailSenpai Email Marketing Automation.
Anyone can create polished newsletters without writing code.
MailSenpai can also be used from a chat with AI, and B2B market testing begins.

Contact
A couple of choices and a few lines are enough. I read every message myself and reply to you personally, in writing.
The first reply is free. I read your request and tell you whether and how I can help. If there is work to do together, we start with the deliverability analysis, which is paid, and there is no commitment until you accept the written proposal. I take on a limited number of clients at a time, because I also lead MailSenpai, SMTP Senpai and DataSenpai.
