What this explains

  • Pre-warmed (done-for-you) accounts are sending-ready mailboxes you buy from DitLead, so you can launch outreach without buying domains, configuring DNS, or warming inboxes yourself.
  • They arrive with authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) configured and sending reputation already built, which means you skip the usual multi-week warmup wait.
  • Use them when you want to start sending quickly, replace a burned domain, or scale volume without setting up mailboxes one by one.

Key ideas

Idea 1

Open the done-for-you marketplace

In Email accounts, choose Add account and open the Done for you tab. You can buy fully managed mailboxes, Google or Microsoft workspace mailboxes, or a dedicated sending server — DitLead handles the setup.

Idea 2

Pick a plan that matches your volume

Pre-warmed mailboxes are $3 per mailbox per month, plus a one-time $8 per domain that covers registration and full SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup. There's no minimum, you can add or remove mailboxes month to month, and they're available on every plan — including Free. For high volume, a dedicated managed SMTP server is available separately.

Idea 3

Use managed domains or bring your own

Managed and workspace options can ship with ready-to-use pre-warmed domains, or you can connect a custom domain you already own. Authentication is set up as part of provisioning either way.

Idea 4

Skip the manual warmup cycle

Because reputation is already built, you do not need to run a separate weeks-long warmup before sending. Still ramp daily volume gradually and keep lists clean and copy relevant.

Idea 5

Launch your campaign

Once provisioning finishes, the mailboxes appear in Email accounts — validated and reply-synced. Add them to a campaign's sender rotation and start sending with conservative limits.

How to use this

  • Add provisioned mailboxes to a campaign and begin with conservative daily limits.
  • Order more mailboxes or a dedicated server as your sending volume grows.
  • Keep lists verified and copy relevant — managed infrastructure still depends on good sending practices.

FAQ

Do I still need to warm up pre-warmed accounts?

No separate warmup cycle is required — they arrive with reputation already built. You should still increase daily volume gradually and avoid aggressive sending on day one.

How much do pre-warmed mailboxes cost?

$3 per mailbox per month, plus a one-time $8 per domain that covers registration and all DNS/auth configuration. There's no minimum, you can add or remove mailboxes month to month, and they're available on every plan — including Free.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Connect a custom domain you already own, or let DitLead register and configure one for the one-time $8. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are set up either way.

How fast are accounts ready?

Same day for managed pre-warmed mailboxes — they arrive authenticated and reputation-built, so you can connect them to a campaign and send immediately. You can track status under the Done-for-you tab's provisioning activity.
