# Email Throttling

Configure email throttling to improve deliverability. Learn to maintain sender reputation, avoid spam filters, and send emails with human-like behavior.

[SmartReach](https://smartreach.io/) sends emails one at a time just like a human would. Unlike bulk tools that fire off hundreds at once, our throttling ensures no two emails go out together. This human-like sending pattern helps avoid spam filters and keeps your sender reputation strong.

## How SmartReach handles email throttling:

### SmartReach automatically helps manage your sending limits based on:

* Your email provider's guidelines
* Warmup status of your inbox
* Daily sending limits defined under each email channel

By spacing out your emails (instead of sending all at once), SmartReach ensures higher inbox placement and a healthy sender reputation.

### Configuring throttling settings:

* Go to Settings > Email Account > Select your email ID
* Click on “Email account”  >  "Email Settings" section
* Set your preferred number of emails per day (e.g., 20-30 for new inboxes, 30-40 for warmed-up ones)
* SmartReach will auto-distribute the sends through the day

### Best practices for email throttling:

* Start slow (e.g., 20–30 emails/day) and gradually increase
* Use multiple email channels to scale safely
* Monitor open/reply/bounce rates regularly
