Is a custom domain safer than Gmail for cold outreach?
I’ve built an automation where I use my own Gmail account as the sender. However, after sending a few emails, my messages started going to the recipients’ spam folders, even when the email content was legitimate and well-written.
Could you please advise me on whether using a custom domain would be better for cold outreach, and what I should do to improve email deliverability?

Gmail에서 몇 통만 보냈는데 스팸으로 간다면 발신 도메인 변경만으로 해결되기는 어렵습니다. 먼저 수신 동의 여부와 발송 대상·빈도를 점검하고, 맞춤 도메인을 쓴다면 SPF·DKIM·DMARC 정렬과 반송/신고 기록을 함께 확인해 보세요. 동일한 내용으로 개인 Gmail과 새 도메인을 소량 테스트해 어느 단계에서 거부되는지도 비교하면 원인 파악에 도움이 됩니다.
Before changing copy, check SPF, DKIM and DMARC on the sending domain, warm it slowly, and cut volume for a week. Spam placement is usually a domain reputation problem first, a wording problem second.
