Ask Soylent: Sending Email at a Measured Pace

from the over-to-you dept.

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.

    The provider is able and may be willing to increase your limits.

    I work for a company in that industry and know that can be done.
