What do you consider "too much" for an email newsletter? What is a good limit? Do you impose and hourly restriction?


This is for shared servers.. not dedicated.


ie: I feel that sending 10,000 emails within 1 hour for a newsletter, on a shared server, is too much. It kills the server, and results in all other customers complaining that mail is slow, etc..

Such a newsletter should be outsourced, and NOT using a shared email server to send mail.



What do you think? What limits do you impose on your customers for sending email?

10000/hour is too much for a shared server. No question. We limit to so many per hour.

He was aying that they limit it to 10000 per hour ... if I understood that correctly ...
