Email limit

[rdb123]

Hi,

I am reselling to a customer who wishes to send up to 1500 emails per month in the form of a newsletter. Is this in contravention of the 200 email limit?

Does anyone have any ideas for how to avoid this, perhaps by staggering the emails in batches?

Thanks,

You cannot send 1500 emails at a time..
You can send upto 200 emails per hour on shared and reseller hosting. For 1500 emails you can create mailing list and throttle list so that your outgoing mail limit does not exceed.

Thanks for your reply Matthew - do you know how I could go about throttling emails?

Hello,

I think you can use a software like PHPList. Which will allow you to set a limit to send emails per hour. And it is very simple to install and configure it.

All the Help can be found HERE

And

define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD",200);

is the option that will allow to send 200 emails per hour.

Out of interest, does anyone know how to throttle the sending on mailman? I've been trying to find that out but have yet failed to find a solution...
