Mailforge

mailforge.ai
Thin evidence

Mailforge sells cold-email infrastructure: it registers domains, creates mailboxes on a shared IP pool and sets up DNS (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) automatically.

Verdict: Independent discussion is thin: only four comments carry a first-hand opinion, one positive (no deliverability issues, easy setup) and the rest negative, the most substantive being a 2024 report of Mailforge mailboxes getting thrown out of Instantly and Smartlead warmup pools. About half of the 24 comments are promotional: posts from the vendor and the Salesforge and Mails.ai side, two near-identical comments calling Mailforge garbage while plugging another sender, an affiliate-link list, a sister-product stack plug, and pitches from MailReach's founder and a competing mailbox seller. The recurring claim that shared-pool providers lag Google Workspace comes almost entirely from those promotional accounts, so it is not treated as evidence here.

In their own words

I use MailForge and haven’t had any issues with deliverability, so that’s what I would suggest. Good company, easy setup.
u/ [Weekly\_Leadership202](https://www.reddit.com/user/Weekly_Leadership202/) Hey Frank... I think you guys are using MailChannels on the back end ... I've set up several Mailforge domains and emails.... and I'm getting thrown out of the warm-up pools from providers like Instantly and Smartlead. This is causing massive problems as I need to get campaigns live, but many basic features aren't yet available on Salesfor…
