How Warmup Works

Add a domain to the warmup service with your relay IP and SASL credentials. Choose a warmup mode based on how aggressively you need to build reputation. The service handles the rest — sending and receiving email across two independent sources to establish your domain and IP as legitimate senders.

Add a Domain

Register your domain with relay IP and SASL credentials. Credentials are auto-resolved from your DNS and MTA configuration. MX records must point to the warmup service before activation.

Choose a Mode

Select from six warmup modes based on your timeline and risk tolerance. Start conservative with maintenance or go aggressive with quadruple. Change modes at any time.

Monitor Progress

Warmup status is displayed per domain on your domain detail page. Track Source A and Source B allocations and adjust modes as your reputation grows.

Warmup Modes

Six modes give you precise control over sending volume. Each mode allocates emails across two independent sources for broader reputation building.

Mode Source A Source B Total Range Best For
Disabled 0 0 0/day Pausing warmup
Maintenance 100 400 100 – 400/day Keeping established domains active
Normal 250 2,500 250 – 2,500/day Standard ramp-up for new domains
Double 500 5,000 500 – 5,000/day Accelerated timeline
Triple 750 7,500 750 – 7,500/day Time-sensitive launches
Quadruple 1,000 10,000 1,000 – 10,000/day Maximum volume building

Dual Source Architecture

Warmup uses two independent email sources to build reputation from multiple angles simultaneously.

Source A

Allocation may be lower than listed if global capacity is exhausted. Provides diversified sending patterns for broader reputation signals.

Source B

Always receives its full allocation regardless of global capacity. Guarantees consistent warmup volume even under load.

Management
