Email marketing is a digital strategy that involves sending emails to a group of people, typically potential or existing customers, to promote products, services, or content. It’s used to build relationships with customers, increase brand awareness, and drive sales by delivering targeted messages directly to their inboxes. This can include newsletters, promotional offers, product announcements, or personalized content based on user behavior and preferences. Email marketing is highly effective because it allows businesses to reach their audience directly, track engagement, and tailor messages to specific segments of their customer base.

The number of emails you can send each day depends on your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account, specifically through Amazon SES (Simple Email Service), which sets the daily limit, not MailBluster. Initially, after moving out of the Amazon SES Sandbox, AWS provides a daily sending limit of 50,000 emails per day (within 24 hours). This limit may vary, potentially reaching 60,000 or even 100,000 emails per day, depending on your account’s previous sending reputation.
MailBluster uses your AWS account to send newsletters and marketing campaigns since it doesn’t provide an SMTP server or services. If you follow best practices and maintain a good sending reputation, Amazon SES may increase your daily sending limit upon request.

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

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.

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.

MailBluster allows a maximum email content size of 120 KB. If your email exceeds this limit, you will encounter the error message.
To ensure optimal delivery and avoid issues, it’s generally recommended to keep your email content between 15 KB and 100 KB.
For instance, Gmail has a 102 KB limit, after which any additional content is clipped and hidden behind a ‘view entire message‘ link.
By keeping your emails within these guidelines, you can help ensure that your content is fully visible to your recipients.
