From 2 very Anonymous Cowards:
Two of us volunteer to manage a private website with about 700 members, constantly rotating in and out (they are mostly undergrad students). For this we use low cost webhosting and recently found out that the email account (same ISP & domain name) only allows 60 outgoing emails/hour. Thus when we want to email the whole membership (a couple of times per year) we are going to have to break the list into a dozen pieces.
It would be nicer if we could submit the whole list at once. We don't mind if the emails are sent "drip feed" with one going out every minute or so.
Anyone ever seen anything like this? I tried a few search strings and didn't find anything, but my Google-fu may be bad today.

This and I would add if it is *really* important. Just buy some email service from someone. The last company I worked for we used ms office365 for a long time. The dudes in that org were NOT shy about emails. I could easy get 500 in 1 day, and that was not uncommon. Think the price was pretty reasonable too. There are several other companies you can buy this sort of service from.
Farting around with email for fun can be just that. But when you want to do a group of people and at a good pace just buy it. It is one less thing you have to fart around with. Roll your own is fine when you are small. But eventually you get to the point where you should hire someone to do just that.
