Contact data comes only from public sources
Before the agent writes to anyone, it has to find a channel the owner has made public. It looks in a short, fixed list of places.
- The RDAP or WHOIS record of the domain, including the forwarding address of a privacy or proxy service when the real details are redacted.
- The domain's own website and any for-sale page on it.
- Public marketplace listings where the owner has offered the name.
The agent does not log in anywhere to scrape data, does not fill in registrar contact forms automatically and does not solve CAPTCHAs. If none of the public channels exists, the deal room tells you so and suggests alternatives instead of guessing an address.
The agent never pretends to be a person
Every email says who is writing. The agent introduces itself as DomainAgent, acting for a client who is interested in the domain (or, on the sell side, for the owner of a domain that may fit the recipient's business). It never invents a human name, a fake title or a made up company.
Your name and company stay private on a purchase, because the buyer identity is DomainAgent. That privacy is the same thing a traditional broker offers. It never turns into a false identity.
What a first outreach email looks like
Here is the skeleton of a typical first email, described in plain words. The subject line names the domain and says there is interest in buying it, with no clickbait and no fake reply prefix.
The opening line says the message comes from DomainAgent, an AI domain broker writing for a client. The next lines say the client would like to discuss buying the domain and ask whether the owner is open to an offer, or would like to name a price. A short sentence explains how the owner's address was found, for example the public WHOIS forwarding address or the contact link on the domain's own website.
The email ends with the sending address for replies, one plain sentence saying that the owner will not be contacted again if they reply "no thanks", and a one-click opt-out link. Follow-ups, if your sequence has them, follow the same pattern and stop as soon as the owner opts out or says no.
What the agent does and what it never does
| The agent does | The agent never does |
|---|---|
| Uses public RDAP or WHOIS data, the domain's own site and public marketplace listings | Scrapes data behind a login or fills in registrar contact forms automatically |
| Introduces itself as DomainAgent acting for a client | Pretends to be a person or invents a name or company |
| Adds a one-click opt-out to every email | Sends to an address on the global suppression list |
| Stays under the daily send cap of your mailbox and the monthly ceiling of your plan | Sends bulk blasts or ramps a new mailbox up overnight |
| Negotiates inside the band you approved | Raises your ceiling or lowers your floor on its own |
| Waits for your approval click before any binding offer or acceptance | Commits you to a price without your click |
| Moves money only through a licensed escrow partner | Holds funds or asks anyone to pay DomainAgent for a domain |
| Stops after the sequence you set and suggests alternatives | Keeps chasing an owner who said no |
How opt-out works
Every outreach email has a one-click opt-out link. One click is enough: no login, no form and no confirmation email. Replying "stop", "no thanks" or "remove me" works as well, because the agent reads replies in the deal thread and treats a refusal as an opt-out.
An opt-out does not only stop one sender. It goes to a global suppression list shared by every DomainAgent account, so no other user of the service can contact that address through the agent either. The list keeps a one way hash of the address and the domain name, which is enough to block future sends without keeping a readable contact record.
Send caps and warm-up
Each connected mailbox has a daily send cap, and a newly connected mailbox starts low and grows gradually. On top of that, each plan has monthly ceilings for new owner or buyer contacts and for outreach and reply emails. These caps keep the volume human sized, protect your sender reputation and make it hard to turn the agent into a spam tool.
The legal basis under CAN-SPAM and GDPR
For recipients in the United States, every email follows CAN-SPAM: an honest sender identity, a subject line that matches the content, a working opt-out that is honored, and a way to reach us at support@domainagent.ai.
For recipients in the EU and the UK, the agent processes business contact data on the basis of legitimate interest: a proposal to buy or sell a specific domain is a direct, relevant business message to the person who controls that domain. We apply data minimisation, so only the address, the domain, the public source and the thread are kept. The first email tells the recipient who is writing, why and where the address came from, and our privacy policy gives the full information required when data is not collected from the person directly.
Anyone contacted through DomainAgent can ask us to delete their data. We remove the contact record and the related messages from our systems and keep only the hash on the suppression list, so the deletion request is not undone by the next search.
If you own a domain and want no more emails
If you received an email from DomainAgent and do not want more, click the opt-out link at the bottom of the message, or reply with "stop". You can also write to support@domainagent.ai with the domain name and the address that received the email. We add the address to the suppression list and, if you ask, delete the data we hold about you.
You do not need an account and you do not need to give a reason.
No answer is a valid answer
There is no guarantee that an owner answers or sells. If the owner stays silent or says no, the agent stops after the sequence you set and suggests alternatives, such as similar names or other extensions. Nothing is charged per deal, so a no never costs you a fee. See how the agent handles the next steps on buy a domain that is taken and domain negotiation.
