I get about 300 e-mail's a day to my main e-mail account. The e-mail's get sucked into my Entourage and forwarded out hourly using a custom script on Entourage. They get forwarded to the same 20 e-mail addresses hourly. My ISP provider keeps kicking me off because they only allow 50 e-mails an hour. Since i am sending 300 e-mails a day to 20 people they multiple 20 x 300 emails = 6000

I tried going through my hosting company for my SMTP server but they cannot support that many e-mails.

Can anybody recommend any solutions for me, or a reputable hosting company? Thanks -

If your ISP allows outgoing traffic on port 25 you could use Postfix.

I think sending that number of emails, you really need to run your own email server. Forwarding through an ISP really isn't going to work well.

Postfix as coolmacguy mentioned would certainly be a good choice. Remember to make sure whatever you run, it's not configured as an open relay, else spammers will have a field day with you.
