How to Fix LaGrowthMachine’s “You have reached a limit for sending mail” Error

When Gmail puts a hard stop on your outreach

You queue up dozens of follow‑ups in LaGrowthMachine, only to see them stall with a blunt notification: “You have reached a limit for sending mail.” Suddenly, your campaign grinds to a halt until tomorrow. Not ideal when every touchpoint matters.

What’s happening under the hood

Gmail enforces strict daily thresholds—500 sends/day on personal accounts, 2 000/day on Workspace. Once you hit that cap, outgoing messages are blocked. LaGrowthMachine surfaces Gmail’s error and pauses all further sends for that account until the limit resets at midnight. Outlook/Exchange behaves similarly (blocked mails return “message non distribué”).

1) Quick-fix: get back to sending

  1. Verify your quota

    • Log into Gmail and check your daily send count or use Google Workspace Reports.

  2. Wait for reset

    • Stop all campaigns, then wait until the 24 h window ends (midnight in your timezone).

  3. Adjust LGM settings

    • In Settings > Email > Daily Sending Limits, set your max sends below Gmail’s cap (e.g. 450 instead of 500).

After reset and limit tweak, relaunch your campaign—emails will resume flowing.

2) Prevent future blocks

  • Use multiple accounts: rotate between separate Gmail or Workspace accounts to distribute sends.

  • Leverage external SMTP: integrate a service like SendGrid or Mailgun for higher quotas and dedicated IP.

  • Stagger sends: spread your daily volume across morning, afternoon, evening to avoid hitting limits early.

These steps smooth out your send curve and keep Gmail happy.

3) Or switch to ReactIn and sidestep email caps

If juggling quotas feels like a full‑time job, consider LinkedIn‑powered outreach with ReactIn:

  • No email quotas: reach prospects via LinkedIn connection requests —no mail server limits.

  • Multi-account management: built-in rotation across LinkedIn profiles and email accounts prevents any single profile from hitting its cap.

With ReactIn, your growth engine never stops for a daily reset—just seamless, safe automation.
