| Limits
There is a 200 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 UK
time Mon - Fri.
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.
