### **Benefits of Setting a Delay**

* **Optimized Deliverability:** Spacing out email delivery helps avoid overwhelming recipient servers and improves overall deliverability rates.
* **Reduced Spam Risk:** By sending emails at intervals, you reduce the likelihood of triggering spam filters or being marked as spam by recipient email providers.
