Get your personalized daily send limit and gradual ramp-up schedule based on domain age and warmup status — so you can scale volume without tripping spam filters.
Each domain maintains its own reputation and warmup schedule. Distribute volume across multiple domains to scale safely.
per domain
Target: 50 emails/day
New domain (0–30 days) domains max out at 50 emails/day after full warmup. Follow the ramp schedule below to reach this safely.

| Week | Daily Range | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 10–15 | Warmup | Warmup only – no cold outreach. Send to colleagues, existing customers, warmup partners. |
| Week 2 | 15–22 | Warmup | Warmup only – no cold outreach. Send to colleagues, existing customers, warmup partners. |
| Week 3 | 30–34 | Limited | Mix in limited cold outreach – verified contacts only. |
| Week 4 | 34–39 | Limited | Mix in limited cold outreach – verified contacts only. |
| Week 5 | 39–44 | Full | Full cold outreach allowed – monitor bounce/complaint rates closely. |
| Week 6 | 44–50 | Full | Full cold outreach allowed – monitor bounce/complaint rates closely. |

Mailbox providers track your sending patterns to protect users from spam. Respecting these limits keeps your domain off blacklists and your emails in the inbox.
New domains have zero sending history. Mailbox providers treat sudden volume spikes as suspicious. Older domains with consistent patterns earn higher trust scores and larger send quotas.
Jumping from 0 to 100 emails/day overnight triggers spam filters. A gradual 10–20% weekly increase mimics organic sender behavior and builds reputation safely.
High bounce rates, spam complaints, and low opens tell providers your emails are unwanted. Staying below safe volume limits while monitoring these metrics protects long-term deliverability.
New domains (0–30 days old) should start with 10–30 emails per day during the first two weeks of warmup. Do not send cold outreach during this period—only warmup emails to engaged recipients like colleagues, existing customers, and warmup partners. After 2–4 weeks of warmup, you can gradually scale to 50 emails per day for cold outreach.
Safe daily send limits depend on domain age and warmup status. New domains: 50/day max after warmup. Domains 1–3 months old: 80/day. Domains 3–6 months old: 120/day. Domains 6+ months old: 150/day. These limits assume proper warmup, verified contacts, and healthy bounce/complaint rates.
You can start limited cold outreach in week 3–4 of your warmup schedule, but only to verified contacts with low bounce risk. Full cold outreach volume is safe after 4+ weeks of gradual ramp-up, once your domain has established positive engagement patterns and sender reputation.
A safe sending limit is one that stays below your domain's reputation ceiling while maintaining bounce rates under 3%, spam complaint rates under 0.1%, and open rates above 10%. For most established domains, this is 50–150 emails per day per domain, depending on domain age.
Scale by adding more sending domains (not by pushing a single domain beyond its ceiling) and distributing volume across them. Each domain should ramp up gradually following its own warmup schedule. Monitor bounce rates, complaint rates, and deliverability signals daily, and never skip warmup on new domains.
With multiple domains, your total daily capacity is the number of domains multiplied by each domain's safe limit. For example, 5 established domains at 100 emails/day each = 500 emails/day total. 10 domains at 150/day each = 1,500 emails/day. Each domain maintains its own reputation and warmup schedule.
