How do new IPs gain trust?

New IP addresses start with neutral reputation. Providers have no history to evaluate, so they watch early sending behavior intensely to establish a baseline.

The warming process involves starting with small volumes sent to your most engaged recipients, those who regularly open and click. Increase volume gradually over 4 to 8 weeks, adding recipients in controlled batches.

Consistent authentication from day one is essential. Every message should pass SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Low complaint rates and minimal bounces signal quality and accelerate trust building.

A new IP is like a new captain applying for port access. You start with limited privileges and small cargo loads. Each successful delivery extends your clearance level until you earn full docking rights.
