It's not exactly _hard_ on a new IP, as long as the IP is clean (which is reasonably simple to ensure, as long as your host isn't in the business of hosting spammers). You just have no reputation to start with, so you can't expect perfect deliverability from day one. But after some time (and we're talking weeks-to-months, not years), you'll be fine.
- ipaddr 5y agoSure if you want a lot of them to go through but not necessarily all. If someone marks your email as spam you may have to start all over again. If you want to send more than a few emails per day you have to warm the ip by sending specific volumes over time. It's doable, easier with a service to help you.
- jhugo 5y agoI guess it depends what kind of mail you're sending? I send & receive a lot of mail, but I can't imagine anyone has ever marked a mail from me as spam (except perhaps by clicking the wrong button), since it's just normal conversational personal & business mail. I never did any kind of deliberate 'warming up', I just set up the server and then started sending mail. In the first few months people would occasionally see mail from me go to their spam folder, but that hasn't happened in many years.
