Max Weight Value

Is there a maximum value for weight for it to have the intended effect? We brought some new IPs onboard last week and had an issue sending when we thought the outbound amount would be in the range of 500-750 emails the first day and it ended up being about 15,000. The total send for that day was in the range of ~175k and our weight for source-a which is the primary is 256 and the weight for source b & c is 1 for both.

Any idea why the discrepancy? Is it that the destinations are of a similar provider? Does it have to do with the way that the messages were injected into the queue? We inject them at the time of queuing via API for a future date.

Example Config
[pool.“pool-1”]
[pool.“pool-1”.“ip-1”]
weight = 256

[pool.“pool-1”.“ip-2”]
weight = 1

[pool.“pool-1”.“ip-3”]
weight = 1

Hello,

The weight of the pool refer to the percentage of the total to be distributed per IP so total weight will be 100 percent and it will be distributed within the ip defined in pool

Generally , if it is set to 256, the total is 256 + 1 + 1 = 268. For the sending volume of ip2 or ip3, it about 175k / 268 * 1 = 652. Do you mean that ip2 or ip3 sent out 15000?

that’s correct

I calculated what your did

I have a feeling it has to do with the congestion of ip1

yeah.
Yes, I also feel that ip1 is too busy and is restricted by throttle or Traffic Shaping. What I want to know more is how to find the reason through tools or logs.
