How does load balancing work in MTAs?

Load balancing spreads outbound messages across different MTAs, servers, or IPs to maintain steady throughput. It uses round robin selection, weighted routing, or dynamic load assessment based on server health.

By distributing connections evenly, MTAs avoid congestion and prevent any single server from becoming a bottleneck. It keeps the fleet moving smoothly across open water.
