Slow growth, on purpose
MailSequoia is a small, invite-only email delivery service. It does one job: it carries email for people who want to send under their own name, and it keeps that email honest.
Why a sequoia
A giant sequoia adds one ring of wood each year. A good year leaves a wide ring and a hard year a narrow one, and the record stays in the trunk for anyone who cares to read it.
Sending email works the same way. Mail services judge a sender by what it has sent before, a day at a time. Nobody can skip that part. A good name is built slowly, in public, and it is easy to read.
So MailSequoia is built around the day. Each customer has a place of their own, each day is counted, and what goes wrong is dealt with there and then.
What we think matters
- Your name on your email
- Email should carry the name of whoever wrote it. MailSequoia is only the carrier, and never puts its own name in front of yours.
- A place of your own
- Shared setups are hard to follow and hard to fix. Every customer here has their own.
- Scars heal over
- A sequoia survives fire by growing new wood over the burn. A dead address or a spam complaint is closed off the same way: we stop writing to it and the sending carries on.
- Few rules, kept
- Our acceptable use policy fits on one page. We would rather have five rules people follow than fifty they skim.
How we work
By email. There is no sign-up form, no checkout and no account page yet. You write to us, we set you up, and your numbers and questions travel the same way.
That is a deliberate choice for now. Opening accounts by invitation means we know who is sending through MailSequoia and what they send.
What you will not find here
A wall of customer logos, a running count of emails delivered, or a row of badges. We would rather show you how it works and let you judge it on that.
