We set the limits to 20<\/strong>0 emails per domain\/hour<\/strong> to prevent the servers from being mail or spam abused.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t You have to know this. Especially if you do\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0outreach. Each\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0service provider has its own\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0sending limits. The limits may be daily, hourly, and sometimes also per minute. If you\u2019re sending cold\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0campaigns without being aware of your\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0provider\u2019s limits, your\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0account may get blocked before you know it.<\/p> If you\u2019re sending your cold\u00a0emails<\/span>\u00a0from your own mailbox (your own\u00a0SMTP), the limits of your\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0service provider are the ones to keep an eye on when setting up your cold\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0campaigns.<\/p> Sending too many emails<\/span> a day (or sometimes even too many an hour, or a minute) may block your email<\/span> account. For example, you won\u2019t be able to send any kind of email<\/span>\u00a0from this account for 24 hours or more.<\/p> If you know the limits, and set up your delivery time and the number of\u00a0emails<\/span>\u00a0sent daily per campaign according to those limits, your campaigns will be smoothly sent as planned and your\u00a0emails<\/span>\u00a0won\u2019t be considered SPAM\u2013 provided that you\u2019re not sending poor quality content without any personalization whatsoever.<\/p> If you\u2019re sending anything that is considered spam, you may get blacklisted\u00a0sooner than you reach your daily sending limit. Remember: the deliverability of your cold <\/span>emails<\/span>\u00a0is also crucial if you want to avoid being blacklisted.<\/span><\/p> The\u00a0email<\/span> sending limits posed by your provider are for all the messages sent from your address. That\u2019s why if you have several follow-ups planned within your campaign. Keep in mind that after a few days or weeks, not only your first touch emails<\/span>\u00a0will be queued to be sent a day, but also a number of follow-ups. As all the scheduled types of\u00a0emails<\/span> overlap, you may easily exceed the limits. The same goes for sending a few campaigns from the same email address at the same time.<\/p> Per day:<\/strong>\u00a0100 messages maximum via\u00a0SMTP<\/span> (but 500 emails via browser).<\/p> Per hour:<\/strong>\u00a0There is no official information. However, from our experience, it\u2019s good to send no more than 20 messages an hour from a free Gmail account.<\/p> Additional good-to-know:<\/strong> If you exceed the sending quota, Gmail will block your account for 1-24 hours. We usually don\u2019t recommend sending cold email<\/span>\u00a0campaigns from a regular free Gmail account but setting up an address on a separate domain using G Suite (a business\u00a0email<\/span>\u00a0service from Google) instead. This gives you greater opportunities as to the\u00a0outreach volume and more control over your sending settings.\u00a0<\/p> Plus, your recipients will treat you more seriously if they get an email<\/span> from business domain, rather than from name267@gmail.com. So if you do decide to use free Gmail account for your outreach anyway, make sure the address looks safe and legit to your recipients.<\/p>Why is it crucial to be aware of the email sending limits?<\/h2>
