Warmup FAQ: Common Questions Answered
Frequently asked questions about email warmup.
Q: How long should I warm up before sending campaigns?
A: At minimum 2-3 weeks for existing domains, 4-6 weeks for brand-new domains. Wait until your Health Score is consistently above 70.
Q: Can I run warmup and campaigns at the same time?
A: Yes, and you should. Both share your daily sending quota. The system auto-adjusts — in Maintenance mode, warmup uses 15-30 emails/day while leaving the rest for campaigns.
Q: Why did my warmup strategy change automatically?
A: WarmySender's A.H.D.E. system auto-evolves strategies based on your mailbox age and performance. For example, New Domain promotes to New Mailbox after 30 days, and high bounce rates trigger Recovery mode.
Q: What if my Health Score is stuck and won't improve?
A: Check: (1) DNS records are correct (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). (2) Mailbox is connected and active. (3) No campaigns causing high bounce rates. (4) Give it 2-3 weeks of consistent warmup.
Q: Should I warm up on weekends?
A: Yes. Warmup runs 24/7 by default and sending on weekends helps build natural engagement patterns. Campaign sends are separate — those follow your configured schedule.
Q: How many warmup emails per day is optimal?
A: Start with 5-10 for new domains. The system ramps up automatically based on your ramp speed. At full maturity, Maintenance mode sends 15-30/day.
Q: Will warmup emails be visible to my contacts?
A: Warmup emails are sent to other WarmySender users' mailboxes, not to your contacts. The system automatically manages them — they are not visible in your regular inbox flow.
Q: Can I warm up a mailbox I have been using for years?
A: Yes. The system detects established mailboxes and assigns an appropriate strategy. Existing reputation is preserved — warmup reinforces and maintains it.
Q: What happens if I disable warmup?
A: Your sender reputation gradually decays without active warmup. If you are running campaigns, keep warmup on in Maintenance mode to sustain your deliverability.
