How to Increase Sending Limits

If your daily cap feels tight at first, that is expected. Bento protects deliverability during trial and warm up by gradually increasing sending limits as your account proves healthy sending behavior.

Quick Answer

Unlimited emails apply after your account completes trial and warm up.
During trial and warm up, you send against a daily limit.
Your daily limit grows quickly as your subscriber count grows.
Importing real, permission-based subscribers is the fastest way to increase your limit.

Import only people who explicitly agreed to hear from you. Purchased or scraped lists hurt deliverability and can slow your ability to scale sending.

Why Sending Limits Exist

Sending limits exist for security and abuse prevention first, and deliverability second. New accounts are the highest-risk window for listbombing, targeted harassment campaigns, and other abusive send patterns.

By limiting early volume and requiring healthy ramp behavior, Bento can detect abuse faster, protect recipients, and protect the shared sending ecosystem for legitimate customers.

Inbox providers also treat brand new senders carefully. A controlled ramp up helps you build trust with Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and others so your emails keep landing in the inbox as volume grows.

How Your Limit Increases

Bento increases limits based on account quality signals, including list size and engagement. As your user count increases, your daily cap increases too. This growth is exponential rather than one-to-one, so larger healthy lists can unlock much larger daily sends.

The quickest way to increase your limit is to upload your users (ideally, your most engaged ones).

Example

If you import 1,000 real subscribers, your daily limit can grow to around >4,000 emails per day or more. If we notice that your engagement is poor (or matches patterns of abuse) you may find your limits are reduced or taken away.

Actual numbers can vary by account quality, engagement, and complaint rates.

Fastest Way to Increase Your Daily Cap

Import your existing opt-in list.
Start with engaged segments.
Keep complaints and bounces low.
Send consistently, not in huge spikes.

Poor engagement, high complaint rates, hard bounces, and unverified list sources can all slow or pause growth.
