Hello,

Are you using any limits to the number of emails to be sent by one hosting client? If so, what is your recommended amount? One potential client wants to send thousands of emails for his marketing campaign. Can it be true? Thank you.

A good default amount would be 100-300 emails an hour. We usually accept people who request amounts like that as if you have a good server, it shouldn't be a conflict at all.

Just make sure they aren't sending Spammed messages. :rolleyes:

I woudn't advice having no limit unless you monitor the mail queue often. We had several cases of people with insecure contact forms allowing spammers to send email from the form.
