What they did

He let Grok Bot run his sales outreach for 48 hours. It sent 46 personalized emails in 2 days, and on day 2 Brevo flagged his account for review. Brevo's rules ban emailing people who haven't opted in, even when the emails follow every CAN-SPAM rule. He's asking others whether to switch to Google Workspace or a dedicated cold-email tool.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Before you send any outreach for me, read the terms of [email platform] and tell me whether it allows cold email to people who haven't opted in. If it doesn't, stop and recommend a compliant setup. Draft the emails for my review, send at most [number] a day, include an opt-out line, and pause if bounce or complaint rates rise.
