Capacity Planning

Why Mailrun Uses a Wider Domain Base

Mailrun caps each domain at ten inboxes. For planning, we use five campaign sends per inbox per business day. That is a capacity-planning rate, not a mailbox cap.

A target of 300 campaign sends per business day uses 60 inboxes across six domains. One ten-inbox domain represents 50 planned sends, or 16.7% of that domain-level capacity.

Replies and ordinary one-to-one messages are not included in the campaign-send calculation.
