I started using Sendfox for one Email campaign. They just blocked my Account, and customer Support answered, "We recommend you find another tool that better suits your needs at this time."
No Idea why, but so I move on...
Update: Thanks I already found another email marketing service. Just for your information, I have been using Sumo's service for 5 years. One of your employees then recommended to me using sendfox. The experience was unfortunately very bad. Also, your reasoning that I operated affiliate marketing is not even true. bye bye

Dear Walkman Saturates,
Thank you for your review and we are sorry to find out what happened.
Unfortunately, your account in SendFox was terminated due to the violation of our Terms Of Service.
You may access the SendFox TOS via email we sent to you, or by visiting this page: https://sendfox.com/tos
We are very sorry about that.
We recommend you find another tool that better suits your needs at this time.
Kind regards from the Originals Team.

They banned me without warning within…
They banned me without warning within 20 minutes of creating my first account. Why? Because i had a few emails bounce. If i had known this would be an issue i would have checked and cleaned my list. I replied to them asking for another chance after i clean my list, and they did not reply back. 30% of my revenue comes form email marketing and I cant find a good service as of late. I am about to go out of business and just wish i could have the real support i need right now from a tech company, JUST ONCE! But nope, they never care about you or your livelihood. I may be getting evicted, and sendfox allowing me to use my account again WOULD prevent me from becoming homeless. All i ask is maybe if you see this you will reach out and reconsider allowing me to use the service.

Sendfox only sends to 10% of your list
Sendfox only sends to 10% of your list, saying it's optimizing them for your benefit. It's not a benefit, and it is a waste of time and effort.
The comments below do not help. It is a bait and switch tactic. No where does it state on any of their purchasing features that it will restrict your emails to 10% or obviously one wouldn't purchase it.

Hi Bill,
As we mentioned in our support channel, your account was automatically optimized becaue of the low stats on one of the emails you sent.
We Optimize because we have to — Google forces our hand to make sure senders on our tool are following best practices when sending. Check out our FAQ for more details.
The Anti-Spam team at Google is agnostic about who is affected, the reasons why, or anything like that. They just look at the data.
And if results are "worse" than what they view as in-line for what they expect from a sender, they'll not only spam block your entire domain (thus ruining your deliverability), but they'll also damage our tool's sending reputation. This would cripple our business, so obviously we take it very, very seriously. We've even talked to the team lead at the Google Anti-Spam team to make sure we were following their policies as best as we can.
Similarly, our system auto-Optimizes when results are 3x (or more) worse than industry standards. The general industry standards are available in a few places, but one of the more public places is on Mailchimp's page here - https://mailchimp.com/resources/email-marketing-benchmarks/.
Just keep your bounce rate and unsubscribe lower than ~3x what's listed on the page above, and your open rate better than 3x lower than average.
As long as you do those things, you won't be Optimized. Just keep decent core metrics, and you'll be fine.
And, also want to be clear to properly manage expectations: We've extended a few complimentary de-Optimizations at this point, which is a rarity, so want to be clear it's not something we can keep doing on your account — both so that Google doesn't spam block your domain and so our business doesn't get crippled.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your understanding. Just send quality emails, and it's something you won't ever have to worry about!

Don't Waste Time! Pay More for a Better Product & Service
I was hoping to move across from MailChimp to SendFox and save some $$. Unfortunately, I just wasted a lot of time and money.
From day one I wasn't happy with SendFox, but it had a good rating and was cheap. So, I tried to stick with it and give it ago.
The finial straw was this weekend, when it took a couple of hours to draft a newsletter and I sent it to a friend to check and for them to add their content etc.
The email was blocked and I was locked out of my account. Waited a couple of days for a response and was told "the reason you were banned is because you had really high spam score on the campaign you created" & "all the campaigns you send had a really high bounce rate".
There was no warning, they just banned my account and deleted my campaign, no chance to edit it or anything (hours wasted).
Compared to MailChimp the bounced is a lot higher with SendFox and more often than not, they go straight to junk.
Honestly, don't waste your time and pay a bit more for a better product and service.

Hi Ross,
We will respond the same way we did on your other reviews of SendFox so viewers can get some context:
First, we'd like to apologise for longer response time over the weekend. On weekends, our response times are a bit higher, plus it was Independence Day in US so the office was closed.
As we mentioned in our support channel, your account was automatically banned as the email campaign you drafted had a really high spam score, specifically:
- One of the links you added in the message was blacklisted
- Message contained spammy phrases
- Message contained affiliate links which is against our Terms of Service
Because of this, the account got banned automatically and we had to delete the message as it would instantly trigger the ban again because of the same reasons mentioned above.
On top of this, all the messages you sent before this campaign had unacceptably high bounce rate - in some cases over 20%, which is not something we can allow as it damages the deliverability for all other SendFox users.
The bottom-line is: We want to ensure that SendFox maintains great deliverability for all users, and unfortunately that means we have to make some hard decisions. There are still complaints coming in on older messages from your account — and Google looks upon these very unfavourably — so our hands are a bit tied when it comes to sending emails with high spam score.
Hope you can understand our concern.

Can't format Smart Campaign template...
I tried switching my list of 19,000+ from MailChimp to SendFox. I have a simple RSS feed email that I send out each week.
First issue, when importing my list from MailChimp, there were random numbers put into the First Name column. I had no way to delete them in bulk, so I contacted tech support. The tech couldn't delete them either, and couldn't even delete the list so I could try uploading again. It was Friday evening and he said only the developers could handle the fix, so I had to wait until Monday. Didn't hear back from him until Tuesday.
Second issue, when I tried to set up the Smart Campaign to send each Sunday, there were no instructions on how to format the email template. Turns out that's because there's no way to format it! I was stuck with their terrible format that looks like a 90s-style email. In order to format the email, I would have to do so manually each week. Their Smart Campaign isn't so smart...
I cancelled my license and tried to cancel my Empire Add-On. They refunded my license, but told me I was past the 3-day refund time for the Add-On. The only reason I was past that time was because I had to wait four days for their developers to fix the list, yet they still refused to issue a refund for the add-on. I ran a charge back with my card company instead. It was only $10, but still, there's no way they deserve even a dollar for their crappy service and junk email template.
JUNE 9TH UPDATE: I received an email from SendFox asking if I would take down this review:
"I noticed you left a 1 star review in TrustPilot about this. If I request to have your $10 refunded back to you would you retract the TrustPilot review?"
First, I already got my $10 refund through the charge back. Second, it's nice to know you try to pay people off in order to keep the bad reviews to a minimum.

Hi David,
Sorry you had a bad experience with SendFox, and thank you on your honest review.
First, I'd like to clear things up - We don't pay people to remove bad reviews. Based on your circumstances, we were willing to offer an atypical refund outside of the refund period and that is what our Support team suggested in the comment.
Also, we would like to apologise for the late reply. Our response times are a bit higher on the weekends, but we respond to every email.
That said, we took notes of all the stuff you mentioned with the Smart Campaigns and forwarded them to our developers so they can add necessary features in one of our future updates.
Unfortunately, we don't have an ETA on when this might be added, but it is on our list, so stay tuned.
If you have any other concerns or suggestions, fell free to contact our support team.

I have tried by all means to obtain the essence of Sendfox in a self-taught way in order not to disturb the helpdesk repeatedly.
After two intermittent months of personal effort I have concluded that Sendfox is a scam due to the incompleteness of its configuration since it fails too much and should not be done if it is released under the excuse of being cheap.
Finally I took the trouble to get help from the support service and also another fisaco, After all these vicissitudes they deny me the refund of the 50 $. Judge for yourself ...
Do not be fooled. Cheap is expensive. I do not recommend it. And also they do not return your money.

Hi Fernando,
We're very sorry to hear that you feel this way. Our team did their best to help you. We also sent you a personalized video recording explaining how to fix the issue.
As we mentioned to you via email, your SendFox plan came with a 14 day money-back guarantee. Since you requested the refund after this period, we could not refund your payment.
As long as a customer requests their refund within the allowed time frame, we're happy to return their payment.
All the best and stay healthy!

I paid for a Lifetime account and after i sent a few e-mails the sendfox team closed my account because i sent "affiliate emails".
In fact the e-mails was sent from one domain to another and both domains are mine. The considered that my emails were spam.
The ugly part is that my list of subscribers is now gone. Over 9000 subscribers which i can not recover anymore because the sendfox.com team was not able to ask me before they closed my account instantly.
