Warming up an IP address refers to gradually increasing email volume over time from a new IP address that has not previously sent email. It is important for IP addresses used to send large volumes of email to be warmed up correctly to avoid issues with deliverability. A good warm up involves starting with low volumes from engagement lists and gradually increasing over a period of 2-3 weeks until reaching the intended monthly volume. Factors like open and click rates should be monitored during the warm up process.
