Looking for SMTP service for mass emailing...
Hello,
I have a client that has a php script that sends newsletters. However, his current host has us to throttle the email sends to 1 email every 3 seconds...
Are there SMTP services that exist that would allow my php script to connect to a 3rd party SMTP server to send the emails without any limits?
Thanks...

Yes, phpMailer will allow you to connect to any SMTP server of your choice and send e-mails from there. But I believe this needs to be installed by your host.

check http://www.constantcontact.com.
otherwise, your host will run a high risk of getting their IP's blacklisted.eVerity.com

Also try phplist as your script (which I think is using phpmailer), it makes life even more easier.

To outsource the whole thing a cheaper alternative to constantcontact is MailerMailer(www.mailermailer.com) we have had clients use them in the past.
