Limit on number of emails sent per hour

[blinton25]

Hello,

We have a opt in list which contains 3000 members. When we send out the monthly newsletter our hosting provider limits us to 80 an hour, so it takes the entire day to send out the newsletter.

Is there a way to get around this?

Get a different hosting company or contact them for the premium, extra cost service.

The answer is "42"

Hello,

They don't have an advanced package that supports more emails, and at this point we can't switch. I was wondering if there is a software package that can assist us.

I'm not aware of any software that can limit email sent to a mail server outside your control. It might be possible to set up your own smtp server and have it control the rate it forwards email. I'm shooting from the hip here so don't expect any more from me. Perhaps the thought is the impetus you might need.

Hello,

Thanks for the information. I found GroupMail (infacta.com) and their software allows one to either schedule the sending of emails to prevent exceeding the rate specified by the mail server, or a direct send mode, where email is sent direct from the computer which you are working on.
