Mailbox Rotation: The Math Behind Safe Daily Volume
How many mailboxes a list actually needs, and how to spread sending across them.
Start from daily volume
Decide the daily send target, divide by a conservative per-mailbox cap, and round up. That is your mailbox count.
Conservative caps
Thirty to fifty sends per mailbox per day is a sustainable ceiling for most cold outreach after warmup.
Rotate evenly
Even distribution beats draining one mailbox before touching the next; per-inbox spikes are what get noticed.
Keep replies with the sender
Whatever the rotation, follow-ups and replies should stay with the mailbox that started the conversation.
