How do I improve email campaign deliverability?+
Authenticate your domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, warm new IPs gradually, validate your list, and mail engaged subscribers first. Monitor complaint and bounce rates by provider and act on early warning signs instead of waiting for open rates to fall.
What is the best way to send a newsletter to a large list?+
Send through an authenticated service with a warmed IP, split the list into batches, and let throttling match each provider's limits. Schedule the send, watch delivery by provider as it runs, and suppress bounces and complaints immediately afterwards. Avoid sending to the whole list on day one.
Do I need to warm up an IP for email campaigns?+
Yes, for any new dedicated IP or domain. Providers have no history for it, so sudden high volume looks suspicious. Start small with engaged contacts and increase volume in planned steps over several weeks. Skipping warmup is a common reason new senders get blocked.
Why do my campaigns go to spam?+
Common causes are missing authentication, a cold or shared IP with poor history, high complaint rates, unengaged or purchased lists, and spammy content. Check authentication first, then look at per-provider complaint and bounce data to find where the problem starts.
Can I use SMTP with my existing email marketing tool?+
Yes. Many campaign tools and plugins accept SMTP credentials, so you can point them at MigoSMTP and keep your current workflow. Use a verified domain and dedicated credentials for marketing. Keep campaign and transactional credentials separate.
How often should I clean my email list?+
Validate before any large send to an older list, and remove hard bounces and complaints continuously. Review inactive subscribers on a regular cycle, such as every six months, and suppress those who do not respond to a re-engagement message. Frequent small cleanups beat rare large purges.
Can AI write email subject lines?+
Yes, AI can draft subject lines and preview text in your tone, and suggest variants to test. It should assist rather than decide: a marketer reviews the options and approves the final copy.
How does send-time optimisation work?+
It looks at when your own subscribers have opened or clicked in the past and suggests a delivery window for each segment. The suggestion is based on your data, can be overridden, and works best with a few months of engagement history.
