Throttling refers to the practice of controlling the rate at which emails are sent to recipients. It involves sending emails in smaller, controlled batches over a period of time rather than all at once. This technique helps ensure better deliverability and reduces the risk of emails being flagged as spam.
Why Is Throttling Important?
- Improved Deliverability: Sending emails in smaller batches prevents email servers from being overwhelmed, reducing bounce rates.
- Avoiding Spam Filters: Gradual sending helps avoid being flagged by spam filters, as high-volume sends can trigger anti-spam mechanisms.
- Protecting Your Sender Reputation: Controlled sending ensures that email service providers (ESPs) view you as a responsible sender.
- Effective Campaign Monitoring: Throttling allows you to monitor real-time performance metrics and make adjustments during the campaign.
How Does Throttling Work?
- Batch Scheduling: Emails are sent in pre-determined batches, often spaced out by minutes or hours.
- Recipient Segmentation: The audience can be segmented to prioritize high-engagement recipients first.
- Server Limits: Throttling respects the sending limits of email servers and internet service providers (ISPs).
