Outbound
Domain warming is the process of gradually increasing the sending volume from a new or dormant email domain over several weeks to establish a positive sending reputation with major mail providers. Mail providers use sending history and engagement patterns to score domain reputation; a new domain that immediately sends hundreds of emails per day will be treated as spam infrastructure.
A typical warming schedule starts with 10 to 20 emails per day in the first week, increases gradually each week, and reaches full send volume after four to six weeks. During warming, high-quality sends to engaged contacts, people likely to open and reply, are more valuable than volume.
Warming also requires that the underlying authentication records are correctly configured before the first email is sent. An unauthenticated domain will not build a positive reputation regardless of how gradually it ramps.
Automated warming tools can accelerate the process by generating simulated open and reply activity. They are a reasonable supplement to real sends, not a replacement for actual human engagement, which carries the most weight with modern spam filters.
