Queue-don't-drop
When any of the four limit tiers is exhausted, sendrules queues the send with a retry-at deadline instead of returning an error. Midnight-UTC release drains the queue as caps reset — no messages lost to a busy hour.

Mail that survives enrollment week, results day, and the daily rush.
Enrollment-week peaks, results-day storms, and daily student notifications — absorbed by queue-don't-drop.
Bursts absorbed
EdTech & Education
Four sendrules capabilities mapped to the pain that defines this segment. Every one of them is on the free plan.
- Queue-don't-drop
- Provider fleet with failover
- Traffic-class isolation
- Quality gate on rosters
The pain
What you deal with today.
Education has traffic peaks other industries don't understand. Enrollment weekends, results day, term-start welcomes — you send the year's mail in a single burst. One ESP will rate-limit you; two might. Meanwhile your daily reminder mail needs to keep flowing on top.
How sendrules answers
What changes when you route through us.
sendrules layers four independent limit tiers — rule, provider, rule-provider, and mailbox — with queue-don't-drop semantics. Your burst is absorbed, drained across the providers you have attached, and completes when it can, instead of dropping messages the moment one provider says stop. Daily mail on a separate rule never notices the burst happened.
The four capabilities
Feature per pain, not the other way round.
Provider fleet with failover
Attach four or five providers to the enrollment rule. sendrules moves to the next one on a throttle or error, and reservations reset per provider at midnight UTC.
Read moreTraffic-class isolation
Enrollment blast on one rule, daily reminders on another. The daily rule keeps flowing while the burst rule drains — students still get their timetable in the morning.
Read moreQuality gate on rosters
Newly-imported student rosters are always dirty. The quality gate rejects mistyped and role-based addresses before your provider ever sees a bounce.
Read moreWhere it lands
Concrete scenarios you can wire in this week.
- Enrollment-weekend blast absorbed by queue-don't-drop and drained across the four providers you attached to that rule
- Results-day notifications on a strict-limits rule so they can never be starved by a marketing burst on the same day
- Daily reminder mail on its own rule that never shares a queue with a campaign send
- Alumni engagement with the autoresponder parser lifting 'please email my new address' updates straight into your list
- Per-department tenants (student affairs, alumni, admissions) each on their own credentials and their own DMARC posture
