Overlay / SendGrid
Keep SendGrid. Add the operations it leaves to you.
SendGrid moves a lot of mail, but warming, reputation, and incident response are still your job. Egressif sits on top of your SendGrid account, watches every send, recovers when a path fails, and gives you the evidence and control SendGrid does not.
The gap
Where SendGrid leaves you exposed.
- ▸ On shared IP pools, your reputation rides on the behavior of strangers.
- ▸ Deliverability, warming, and reputation strategy stay your problem, not theirs.
- ▸ When mail starts landing in spam, you get a dashboard, not a person.
- ▸ A single provider is a single point of failure, with no built-in fallback.
How the overlay works
Your ESP becomes one path. We become the layer above it.
What the layer adds
What you gain on top of moving mail.
Monitoring on the wire
We watch the actual responses your sends get from receivers, in real time, across every path. Blocklistings, reputation signals, deferral waves, and auth failures get caught as they happen, not in a weekly export.
Ordered failover
Your providers and our network become ordered paths. When one is blocked or throttled, traffic moves to the next automatically. A single provider having a bad day stops being your outage.
Route engineering
Decide how mail leaves: which path per destination, priority for time-sensitive messages, per-receiver throttles, separate lanes per stream. Routing becomes something you configure, not something a single vendor decides for you.
Suppression at the gate
Bounces, complaints, and do-not-contact requests are enforced beneath every application and every path, so an upstream mistake cannot send to someone who already opted out.
Evidence per message
For every message: which server accepted it, when, over what TLS, with the verbatim response, retained on your terms rather than expiring in a provider’s short window.
One provider for the whole stack
DNS, mailboxes, and sending under one operator instead of a different vendor for each layer. Fewer seams, and one team accountable when something breaks instead of a finger-pointing call.
Consolidated view
Every stream and every path in one place: what sent, what landed, what is at risk. Stop stitching together a separate dashboard per vendor to answer one question.
One vendor, one bill, one API
A single relationship, a single invoice, and one API for provisioning and delivery events, instead of integrating, reconciling, and paying several.
No migration
You keep your provider, your templates, and your code. Point your sending at us and your current setup keeps carrying traffic until you are satisfied.
Stream separation
Transactional and marketing stop sharing a reputation. Each stream earns its own, so a campaign can never sink a password reset.
Keep SendGrid
What stays. What changes.
Your SendGrid account stays exactly as it is and becomes one routed path under the operating layer. We add the watching, failover, suppression, and evidence around it, and stand up a second path so SendGrid is no longer your only way out.
Two ways to work with us
Overlay today, whole stack later. Both work.
Start as a layer above SendGrid. If you ever want us to own DNS, mailboxes, and the network too, the path is already there.
Managed
We run it for you.
Routing, suppression, warming, reputation, and incident response are ours. You get plain-language reporting on what happened and what we did. The email part of your week goes quiet.
Self-serve
You drive it.
Provision domains and mailboxes, set routing and fallbacks, and pull delivery data through the console and API. The same engine, operated by your team, at your pace.
FAQ
Running SendGrid? Answered.
Do we have to leave SendGrid?
No. SendGrid stays and becomes one path under our routing. You keep your templates, your API integration, and your account. We add the operating layer around it and a fallback path beside it.
How is this different from SendGrid’s own deliverability tools?
SendGrid reports on what already happened inside SendGrid. We operate across paths in real time: rerouting around a blocked path, enforcing suppression beneath your code, and keeping evidence that does not expire on their schedule.
What if SendGrid suspends our account?
Because SendGrid is one path rather than your only one, traffic fails over to an alternative while the SendGrid issue is worked, instead of your mail simply stopping.
