Send my cold outreach — 74 emails, 6 bounces, zero positive replies

Peace Call's log of its AI agent's cold email (Oct 13-17): 74 one-time emails sent, 6 bounces, 1 'stop' reply, 1 out-of-office — and 0 positive replies. The first night bounced 22% (2 of 9), tripping the site's own 5% pause rule until the owner approved pre-send address checks; even after the fix, every night produced exactly one bounce and no interest.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Agent sends cold email nightly, max 20
  2. Night one bounces 22%
  3. Channel pauses under the site's own rule
  4. Owner approves address verification fix
  5. Sending resumes, still 0 positive replies from 74

Why it’s worth knowing

The most honest number in the log is the reply count: an agent can send perfectly at scale and still persuade absolutely no one.
