There is a 500 hourly email limit per domain this limit
is also applied towards mailman. If you send over this
amount in any hour most of the e-mails will bounce back
with a undeliverable error.
Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit
per domain. If you go over this you're likely to
get a wrong password error message saying login incorrect.
Just wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you.
to prevent this from happening again make sure to disable
auto checking or at least set it to something higher such
as 10 minutes.
Any mailing list larger than 5,000 will require a semi
dedicated or dedicated hosting solution from us. Note:
dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below
this limit is not allowed.
Mailing Lists Rules
1. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large
your e-mail list is you must throttle it. We recommend
you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every
6 seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does
not allow you to throttle you must switch to something
else. We recommend phplist which can be found in your
control panel under fantastico. If you do not throttle
and you try sending let's say 500 emails the server will
try sending all 500 in 1 second which is not possible.
This will cause the server load to go very high and for
the entire server to be sluggish until this process is
completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running
without being sluggish. Anyone who causes the servers
load to go high will be suspended and the process will
be terminated. If you choose not to throttle you will
most likely be suspended for crashing the server.
2. Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed to
be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server
loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and
Sunday, and 1am - 8 am eastern time M-F.
3. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you
were given or purchased. This is spamming because they
never agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do
not care how you justify it. This is spam and will result
in termination of the offending account.
4. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in termination
of the offending account. We take a zero tolerance stance
against sending of unsolicited e-mail.
5. Any mailling list MUST comply with all guidelines
set forth by the United States.
These can be found at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm
6. No Direct SMTP mailers are allowed. An example of
this is DarkMailer. Any mail should be relayed through
the local MTA (localhost:25) for further delivery by the
server and not done directly by scripts.
