How many emails can be sent per day from MailBluster?

Last update: March 18, 2024

The number of emails you can send each day depends on your Amazon Web Services (AWS) Account. Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) sets a daily limit, not MailBluster. Initially, after moving out of Amazon SES Sandbox, AWS will give you a daily sending limit of 50k emails per day (within 24 hours). Actually your AWS Account decides this limit, which might be 50k, 60k or even 100k emails within 24 hours depending on your previous sending reputation (if you have any). MailBluster uses this AWS Account to send newsletters and marketing campaigns because it doesn’t provide SMTP server or services. If you follow good practices and have a good reputation later, then Amazon SES might increase your daily sending limit if you request them perfectly.

MailBluster is still giving a message to move out of sandbox

Last update: March 18, 2024

You can refresh the Amazon SES usage box as shown below:

Reloading the Amazon SES usage box

But if it wasn’t updated, then most of the time, the reason is that Amazon SES moved you out of the sandbox in a different region (not the one that you have selected). The confirmation email should contain the Region; please choose the same region on MailBluster.

If the issue still persists, then generate the AWS Credentials again correctly by following this video tutorial:

Can we send a test mail from MailBluster while my AWS account is in Sandbox mode?

Last update: March 12, 2024

You won’t be able to send any test email or bulk email from MailBluster while your AWS Account is in Sandbox mode. Also, while your AWS Account is in Sandbox mode, those 200 emails you see are only for the virtual mailbox simulator, not for sending actual emails or Test mails to your leads (recipients) from MailBluster. So in conclusion, you won’t be able to send any emails whether it’s a test mail or bulk email from MailBluster until and unless you move your AWS account out of Amazon SES Sandbox.

What should I do if I haven’t received the verification email from MailBluster?

Last update: March 18, 2024

Does MailBluster have domain tracking?

Last update: March 18, 2024

MailBluster doesn’t have any domain tracking mechanism. Because of this, the MailBluster Report does not separately list the number of emails sent, delivered, opened, clicked, marked as spam, etc. for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or AOL.

Does MailBluster provide secured and reputable IP addresses?

Last update: March 14, 2024

MailBluster does not provide any IP addresses. MailBluster and Amazon SES are separate entities. MailBluster utilizes Amazon SES to send all marketing emails. If you require a dedicated IP or SMTP server, you must utilize your own AWS account. There is no configuration necessary from the MailBluster side. Should you wish to purchase a dedicated IP, please contact AWS directly. MailBluster can then utilize this dedicated IP, otherwise, it will utilize a shared IP provided by AWS.

Does MailBluster support Custom SMTP?

Last update: March 18, 2024

MailBluster sends all the marketing emails through Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) with the help of the verified, approved, and out-of-sandbox AWS Account of a user connected with MailBluster. MailBluster does not support Custom SMTP servers or services nor provide any 3rd party SMTP servers or services. However, supporting Custom SMTP servers and other providers are in MailBluster to-do list.
