Why are there outbound email limits?

If you’ve bumped into a limit while sending a document from Enoch File, you’ve found one of two guardrails: 8 recipients per email and 50 total recipients per day. These caps are deliberately generous for the way email is meant to be used inside the app — but they aren’t arbitrary. Here’s what they do and why they matter.

How the daily cap counts

The 50-per-day limit counts recipients, not messages — so how many emails you can actually send in a day depends on how many people you send each one to:

• Sending to one person at a time? You can send 50 emails a day.
• Sending to five people at a time? You can send 10 emails a day.
• Mix and match freely — the cap kicks in when your running total for the day reaches 50 recipients across every email you’ve sent.

The 8-recipients-per-email cap is separate and always applies: no single email can go to more than 8 people, regardless of how much room you have left on the daily total.

Why the limits exist

The two limits work together to prevent Enoch File from being used as a mass-mailing tool. High-volume sending, especially to long recipient lists, is one of the strongest signals mail providers look for when deciding which senders to trust and which to filter.

Left unchecked, a single bad actor sending bulk mail through Enoch File could get the whole service flagged as a spam source. Once that happens, legitimate messages from every user start landing in junk folders — or getting rejected outright by Gmail, Outlook, and the other providers your recipients rely on.

What “sending reputation” means for you

Every domain that sends email has a sending reputation. It’s a running score that mail providers use to decide whether to deliver, filter, or reject a message. Reputation is built slowly and lost quickly. A single spike in spammy-looking activity — high volume, long recipient lists, unusual patterns — can drag it down for weeks.

By keeping outbound volume in check, Enoch File keeps its sending reputation healthy. That means when you share a signed contract, an insurance renewal, or a receipt through the app, it actually reaches the person you sent it to rather than landing in their spam or junk folder.

When to use your regular email instead

The email feature in Enoch File is designed to help you share a document — send a file (or a small set) to one person or a handful of people who need it. It isn’t built to replace your regular email system.

If you find yourself wanting to send a file to a dozen or more people — a family update, a group announcement, a distribution to a committee — the better move is:

1. Download the file from Enoch File to your device.
2. Attach it to a message in your regular email (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, whatever you already use).
3. Send it from there.

Your regular email is built for that kind of distribution. Enoch File’s email feature is built for quick, focused sharing without leaving your file cabinet.
