What does email delivery in progress mean?

Learn what “email delivery in progress” means in Seguno: Email Marketing and what to expect while a newsletter is sending.

“Email delivery in progress” means the newsletter is actively sending to subscribers. The sending process has started, but delivery to all recipient inboxes is not yet complete.

This status is normal and appears while Seguno: Email Marketing processes and distributes the newsletter across recipient domains.


What happens during email delivery

When a newsletter is sent, several steps occur before it reaches a subscriber’s inbox:

  • The system queues the email for sending

  • Recipient lists are validated

  • Sending domains are contacted

  • Receiving mail servers (such as Gmail or Outlook) accept and process the message

  • The email is delivered to the inbox, promotions tab, or spam folder, depending on the recipient’s provider

These steps happen automatically and typically complete within a short period of time.


Why delivery can take time

Delivery speed depends on several factors:

  • The number of subscribers receiving the newsletter

  • The sending reputation and deliverability history

  • Traffic and throttling rules from recipient domains (for example, Gmail rate limits)

  • Temporary server delays

For larger subscriber lists, sending may take longer because more data validation occurs during sending preparations.


When to take action

In most cases, no action is required. The status will update automatically once sending is complete.

Review the campaign if:

  • The status remains “delivery in progress” for an unusually long time

  • The subscriber count is very large, and delivery is still processing after several hours

  • You receive an error notification

If the status does not change and there are no visible errors, contact Seguno Support with the campaign name and send time for further review.


FAQs

Why can’t I see opens or clicks yet?

  • Open and click tracking begins after emails are successfully delivered. Reporting data may take a short time to populate.

Can I edit a newsletter while delivery is in progress?

  • No. Once a newsletter begins sending, it cannot be edited or stopped.

Does “delivery in progress” mean something is wrong?

  • No. This status simply indicates that sending is actively underway.
